This week’s NFC North clash between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions promises excitement, with Vegas setting the total at 51 points. Here are three top betting picks for the matchup:
Jordan Love Over 248.5 Passing Yards (-115)
Jordan Love has consistently delivered against Detroit, surpassing 240 passing yards in all three of his career starts against the Lions. This season, Love has attempted 27 or more passes in six games, reaching at least 240 yards in five of them. The Lions’ defense has also allowed all but one opposing quarterback to hit 27 attempts. In what could be a high-scoring affair, Love has a strong chance to eclipse 248.5 yards.
Jahmyr Gibbs Over 68.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
Though Jahmyr Gibbs saw limited carries on Thanksgiving, his reduced workload likely stemmed from Detroit managing his recovery after a 21-carry outing in Week 12. Back on normal rest, Gibbs is primed for a bounce-back performance. In their earlier meeting, he tallied 65 yards on 11 carries at a rain-soaked Lambeau Field. With favorable conditions in Detroit’s dome, Gibbs should surpass 68.5 rushing yards, even with a modest workload.
Josh Jacobs Over 90 Rushing & Receiving Yards (-120)
Josh Jacobs has been a dual-threat weapon for Green Bay, exceeding 90 combined yards in 10 of his 12 games this season. He racked up 108 total yards in their first meeting and has been even more efficient post-bye, earning the league’s highest overall grade among running backs. The Lions’ banged-up front-seven further bolsters his chances of hitting this mark.
Final Take: Expect a high-scoring game with plenty of standout performances. These picks offer solid value for Thursday night’s showdown.
