The Packers' defense remains disappointing lucky not to have surrendered at least 31 points at home last week to the offensively-challenged Jets. Green Bay has surrendered at least 26 points in 10 of its last 13 games. Last year, Green Bay gave up an average of 30.8 points on the road and already yielded 36 in a Week 1 loss to Seattle.

The Lions have a lot of weapons, including Calvin Johnson. The Packers haven't been able to match up to him.

The Packers have plenty of weapons of their own and have a huge revenge motive to pile up points after the Lions embarrassed them, 40-10, on Thanksgiving. Green Bay was missing Aaron Rodgers in that game. The Packers losing James Jones in the off-season has been offset by the emergence of rookie Davante Adams. Rodgers should have no problem lighting up a Detroit secondary that has multiple injuries and was thin to start.

Green Bay has played in six dome games since 2012 and gone over in five of them. The setting is perfect here for a shootout between Rodgers and Matthew Stafford.
