It’s no surprise that a matchup between two of the league's highest-scoring offenses (the Lions are first and the Packers eighth) would result in a total north of 50, making it the highest of Week 14.
However, these division rivals know how to game plan against each other to slow things down, something we saw back in Week 9 when they combined for just 38 points. The play here is on the under, and I’ll explain why both offenses could stall just enough to keep this game below the total.

Moneyline
I am not betting on either team's moneyline.

This line has moved to Lions -3.5 at most places. DraftKings, though, is sticking with Lions -3, at least as of Wednesday night.
That seems fairly generous since this game is in Detroit, and the fact that the Lions already beat the Packers this season by double digits earlier this season on the road.
In the meantime, though, the Lions have been hit by the injury bug far more than Green Bay. The injured players on Detroit's defense in particular would create a pretty strong 11.
The Lions have continued trucking along. They've won 10 straight games and are 9-3 against the spread, having won by fewer than three points just once this season.
I'd recommend getting this line at Lions -3 instead of -3.5. I would pay up to -135 to ensure we keep the half point in case this game is a close one.

Front seven has been decimated. That's where most of the injuries are.
