Overview

  • Kickoff is Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS from Lambeau Field in Green Bay.
  • Books list the Packers by roughly 1.5–2.5 points, while ESPN’s model gives the Lions about a 51.9% chance and many national picks lean Detroit.
  • Green Bay’s blockbuster for Micah Parsons cost future first-rounders and Kenny Clark, and his Week 1 workload is uncertain after limited practices for a back issue.
  • Detroit swept last season’s series and has won three straight at Lambeau, with Dan Campbell 6-2 against Green Bay.
  • Injury notes this week include Lions LB Trevor Nowaske (elbow) and RB Sione Vaki (hamstring) not practicing, and Packers WR Jayden Reed (foot) and CB Nate Hobbs (knee) sitting Wednesday, with several Packers receivers limited.
