The Detroit Lions are the favorites entering tonight's contest against the Green Bay Packers. Take a minute to let that soak in. 

On a 10-game winning streak, they enter tonight's contest as the favorites by the Thursday Night Football odds. The Lions beat the Packers by 10 points at Lambeau Field earlier in the season and are 5-1 ATS against Green Bay in the last six. 

Meanwhile, the Packers are 2-4 ATS in their last six and 1-6 ATS in the last seven at Ford Field. Tonight's game kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video. 

Mike Spector expects the Packers to cover that spread with his Packers vs. Lions prediction. Our Packers vs. Lions prop picks for TNF expect a more explosive offensive outing than their previous encounter.

The below picks are part of our TNF coverage, including the Packers vs. Lions touchdown picks and the Packers vs. Lions parlay picks. 

Packers vs. Lions betting splits: Thursday Night Football

The Lions, who opened as 5.5-point favorites, are 3.5-point favorites at BetMGM hours before kickoff. About 61% of the bets and 47% of the money is on Detroit.

Jordan Love Over 247.5 passing yards (-113 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This line makes it seem as though our best sports betting sites know something we don’t. The Lions will have Carlton Davis back for this game, but their defense is still depleted. They’re allowing 226.8 passing yards per game, and they couldn’t stop Caleb Williams in the second half last week.

Our Mike Spector expects the Packers' signal-caller to have a big game as he makes his Jordan Love TNF player prop bets.

Additionally, Love threw for 273 yards against the Lions the last time these two teams met. He’s thrown for at least 250 yards in six games this season, and with his team listed as the underdog, he’ll likely be playing from behind in this game. With more passing opportunities in perfect conditions, I expect Love to destroy this number.

Though bet365 is offering the best price for this Over, it also has the total set at 251.5. I’ll take fewer yards for a price that is only nominally worse.

Our Andrew Brennan expects Love to hook up with Christian Watson in his anytime touchdown scorer predictions for Thursday night.

Best odds: -113 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 53.05%

Amon-Ra St. Brown Over 6.5 receptions (+108) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

St. Brown hasn’t scored in two weeks, and he’s gone for fewer than 75 yards in each contest. However, he still leads the team in targets, and whenever Goff looks his way, it’s normally a quality throw. 

St. Brown has caught 76 of 92 targets this season. You have to go back to Week 2 to find a game in which more than two passes thrown St. Brown’s way fell incomplete. Though St. Brown hasn’t caught more than six passes in three of his last four games, he did catch all seven of his targets against the Packers in terrible conditions earlier this season.

FanDuel is offering this at +108, while BetMGM is offering it at -105. So while BetMGM believes St. Brown has a greater than 50% chance of hitting this number, FanDuel is barely giving him a 48% chance. That may not seem like a huge difference, but there is value in betting at FanDuel.

Brenden Schaeffer is also back St. Brown in his Packers vs. Lions parlay picks.

Best odds: +108 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 48.08%

David Montgomery first touchdown (+480) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Last week marked the first time this season that neither Montgomery nor Jahmyr Gibbs scored a touchdown. Considering the two players have combined for 22 touchdowns this year, it’s unlikely they’ll be shut out again.

Unfortunately, our best sports betting apps agree, and the prices for these two to score aren’t great. That said, there is a lot of value in taking Montgomery to score the first touchdown of the game. The Lions have scored the first touchdown in nine of their 12 games this season, and they have gotten the ball first in half of their games.

After getting a little cute at the goal line last week and struggling in the red zone because of it, I expect the Lions to go back to their roots this week. To get this at +480 when Montgomery has 11 of the team’s 21 rushing touchdowns - and he almost always gets the first drive - feels too good to be true.

Elsewhere, Rod Villagomez is eyeing Gibbs to open the scoring in his first touchdown scorer predictions for Thursday Night Football.

Best odds: +480 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 17.24%

He is always looking for value, especially on lines that just seem too good to be true. His belief is that if a line doesn't make sense just assume oddsmakers know something you don't. He also loves in-season futures. There is so much value to be had as the public overreacts weekly. Bettors tend to forget just how long NFL and college football seasons are. After all, the Green Bay Packers were 2-5 in 2023 and they made it to the Divisional Round. When deciding where to bet, it comes down to value over everything. +100 is always better than -110. An alumnus of The U, Phil always holds out hope that the next head coach will be the one who turns the football program around. He is also a diehard Detroit Lions fan and is willing to forgive Dan Campbell for forgetting that a kicker can be useful.
