Detroit Lions v Green Bay Packers: Prediction, Tips and Odds

The Detroit Lions will look to win their 11th straight game and secure their spot in the playoffs when they host the Green Bay Packers at Ford Field on Friday morning in Week 14 of the 2024 NFL season.

Dan Campbell's team are leading the way in the NFC North, and they have already recorded a win over the Packers.

The divisional rivals met in Week 9, with Detroit running out 24-14 winners over the Packers at Lambeau Field.

Green Bay have playoff aspirations of their own with a 9-3 record, and both teams will put it all on the line as the campaign nears its conclusion.

Detroit Lions v Green Bay Packers prop bets - tips and predictions

Jared Goff Over 254.5 Passing Yards - 10/11

The Lions have set the standard on offence this season, and while they collect the second-most yards per game on offence with 395.2, they score the most points per game.

Campbell's outfit score 31.9 points per game on average and they continue to dominate on the ground and through the air.

Their ability to utilise running backs David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs has helped them collect the fourth-most rushing yards per game while they have the fifth-best passing stats per game in the NFL.

Quarterback Jared Goff should have a huge role to play on Thursday as he tries to get the best out of his receivers. Goff's wealth of options are some of the best, if not the best, in the NFL and he should be able to cover his passing yards line.

Goff threw for just 145 yards in the first meeting against the Packers, but he completed 18 of his 22 passes. He has averaged 248.5 passing yards per game this season, and with the Packers recently improving their run defence, the Lions may need to lean on their passing game a little more.

The Lions failed to score a rushing touchdown for the first time all season in last week's 23-20 success over the Chicago Bears, so if they have further issues, expect Campbell to trust Goff to lead his team home.

Josh Jacobs Over 90.5 Rushing and Receiving Yards - 20/23

Packers running back Jacobs has the third-most rushing yards in the NFL this season with 987. Only Derrick Henry and Saquon Barkley have bettered his total, and the Packers ace averages 82.3 yards per game.

He has rushed for at least 40 yards in every appearance he has made this season, but he is also dependable as a receiver.

Jacobs has collected 260 yards through the air, with 74 of those coming in the 30-17 win over the Miami Dolphins last week.

For Green Bay to have success, they will need to mix up their offensive play, so expect Jacobs to benefit from that and have another big night.

Detroit Lions v Green Bay Packers money line, spread, over/under

	Money Line	Spread	Over/Under
Lions	10/19	-3.5 - 20/21	Over 51.5 - 10/11
Packers	8/5	+3.5 - 20/23	Under 51.5 - 10/11

Over 51.5 points - 10/11

While the Packers lost their first NFC North meeting against the Lions, they have not lost since that Week 9 setback. Matt LaFleur's team enjoyed their Bye a week later and have since beaten the Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins.

All three of those teams have shown flashes of brilliance defensively, but the Packers scored 30 points or more in two of those games.

Detroit's offence needs no introduction. They have scored more than 40 points on four occasions this season, and they will not let up against Green Bay.

For Campbell, his team are already in playoff mode and they need to set standards ahead of the postseason.

The playoffs beckon for both teams, if they can maintain their recent form, and Green Bay, would love to unsettle the Lions with just a few weeks of the regular campaign to go.

Both teams have shown they can rack up points on offence and we should be in for a treat ahead of the rest of the Week 14 schedule.
