At 8:15pm ET, my NFC North Game Of The Year is on Detroit. The NFC North has 3 of the best teams in the NFC. The Lions, Vikings and Packers all have 9 or more wins. No single team in the NFC South has more than 6. Only Seattle, which has 7, has more than 6. Of the 3 NFC North teams with 9 or more, the Lions stand alone at the top with 11. They beat the Packers at Lambeau and now they will seize control of the division by completing the series sweep. I've been around a lot of years and this may be the best Lions team I can remember. (This is their best record through 12 games in team history.) They've won 10 straight. Other than a game at Philadelphia, the Packers have faced some weak teams on the road. Their 4 other road games came against teams who are a combined 15-33, none of them above .500. They won't benefit from the elements at Lambeau and will be exposed by a superior Lions team. Lay the points.
