4th best team in the Nfl??  from what i can see the lions who are 7-3, have the same record as 6 other teams.  and when it comes to points allowed they aren't even ranked in the top 15. that is not a good stat when they are playing against the number one offense in football.  not busting your balls just trying to see how you came to this conclusion

That was before John Fox installed the option offense for tebow.

..and wow to the people who's book has Packers at -4 right now, mine still has it at -6. I would pound packers at 4

this packer team is way better and healthier than last years team   and tebow isn't a good measuring stick IMO

Maddogg... records don't equate to ability... Lions are not 4th in the NFL standings... but they are the 4th best team... you can believe me or not, i base this purely on numbers... there's a fairly considerable gap between 4 and 5...

..and to the guy who says Packers are "slowing down" If winning your last 2 games by a combined 47 points is slowing down, then I wish my favorite team was SLOWING DOWN

I have never mentioned the word LOCK in my entire years of wagering but the LIONS will win this game.

^^^ Agree that would be moving the wrong direction.

Line has now dropped to -4 and -200

Notice how I said "acting like its the lock of century."

I didn't say you that you SAID it was a LOCK

and since you mentioned the Lions' 7-3 record... they lost to the 49ers (#2), Bears (#3) and Falcons (#5)...

since the Packers are #1, you could make a case the Lions still have a couple more losses coming their way... but the fact is, only 1 or 2 teams have played a tougher schedule than the Lions... while the Packers have actually played one of the softest schedules in the league, up to this point...

FYI...

no need to think twice. gb is the easy play. -4 and over 55.5. no need to overwhelm yourselves.

obviously the best team in the nfl can beat anyone, either they are 32nd or 4th or 5th best.

It might have to do with GB playing 3 games in 10 days.

4th best team in the NFL?They may be the 3rd best team in their division.They needed a big comeback last week just to beat the lowly Panthers.The Lions are lucky to be the 10th best team in the NFL.
