7-1/88% THURSDAY NIGHT NFL: 10* NFC TOTAL OF MONTH!
(NFL) Packers (GB) vs. Lions (DET),
Total: 51.50 | -105.00 Over
Result: Win
This is a 10* NFC TOM on the OVER Packers/Lions.

A big NFC North matchup between two gunslinging QB's and two of the league's highest-scoring teams, and in my opinion everything points to this total flying OVER the number sooner, rather than later.

Green Bay is 9-3 after three straight victories. The Packers fell 24-14 to Detroit at home back in early November, but note that Green Bay has seen the total go OVER the number in eight of its last 11 in trying to avenge a SU/ATS divisional home loss vs. an opponent.

Detroit though is 11-1 after its most recent 23-20 win here over Chicago. It's been getting the job done with defense over the last three games, but it also has faced three straight offensively challenged opponents (Jags, Colts and Bears.)

The Lions will have to be careful not to get caught looking ahead, as they do in fact have a difficult final schedule, with upcoming games here vs. Buffalo, a Chicago, at San Francisco, and here at home to Minnesota to close.

Either way, the short week is going to have more of an adverse effect on these defenses in my estimation and because of that, all signs do indeed point to this total flying OVER the number sooner, rather than later.

Good luck, NP
