This is a 10* NFC NORTH GAME OF THE WEEK on the Lions.

In a game that I see being decided by whichever of these divisional rivals has its hands on the ball last, I'm going to grab the points.

Detroit won't be in the playoffs. These players are now trying to cement their contracts for next season. The one thing that the Lions will try to do here though is to hand another loss to their hated rival Aaron Rodgers.

Detroit would love nothing more than to see Packers' fans season in ruins, and another loss here would pretty much do that, as Green Bay would then fall to 3-6. Minnesota leads the division at 6-1.

The Packers fell flat again in last week's 27-17 road loss at Buffalo. Detroit fell 31-21 at home to Miami.

At least the Lions can move the ball and put points on the board. Detroit's defense catches a break here facing this uncharacteristically struggling Packers' offense.

I think DETROIT has a legitimate shot at winning this one outright, but in the end I'll recommend to grab as many points as you can.

Good luck, NP
