Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers 9/20/21 - NFL Picks & Predictions
Last Updated: 09/20/2021 at 9:30 PM ET
Historic Lambeau Field will play host to a Monday night NFL clash between the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers. The Lions (0-1) finished last in the division with 11 losses in 2020 and hired head coach Dan Campbell to right the ship. On Sunday, Detroit rallied from a 28-point second half deficit before falling at home versus San Francisco by a 41-33 final score.
New Detroit QB Jared Goff completed 38 of 57 passes for 338 yards and three touchdowns. TE T.J. Hockenson caught eight passes for 97 yards and a score in a losing effort for the Lions.
The Green Bay Packers are the defending NFC North Division Champions and fell to Tampa Bay in the NFC Conference Championship game a season ago. On Sunday, Green Bay turned the ball over three times during a season-opening 38-3 road loss against New Orleans. The Packers managed just 43 rushing yards on 15 attempts and allowed the Saints to possess the ball for nearly 35 minutes.
Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers threw two interceptions and finished the afternoon with a dismal 13.4 QBR. WR Davante Adams caught five passes for 56 yards on seven targets.
Betting Trends for vs
Detroit CB Jeffrey Odukah ruptured his Achilles tendon and will miss the remainder of the season. Green Bay defeated Detroit 42-21 in week two of last season and I would expect them to be razor sharp after an ugly loss. Take the Packers to win easily at home. Final Score Prediction, Green Bay Packers win 34-14.
