Aaron Rodgers passed for 288 yards and two touchdowns and the Packers defense held Minnesota to just 206 total yards of offense.

Davante Adams is the leading receiver with 1,498 yards and 11 touchdowns. On defense, De'Vondre Campbell is the leading tackler with 146 and Rashan Gary is the leader in quarterback sacks with 9.5.

Detroit, behind backup quarterback Tim Boyle, gained 357 yards of total offense but committed three turnovers.

Green Bay has wrapped up the No. 1 seed in the NFC and will likely rest several players including quarterback Aaron Rodgers yet should defeat Detroit on Sunday, but will fall short against the spread. Green Bay has failed to cover the number in seven of the last nine overall against Detroit and in each of the last four versus the Lions played in Detroit. Final Score Prediction, Green Bay Packers win but fall short ATS 27-20.
