What to Know

Detroit and Green Bay will round out the year against one another on Sunday at Lambeau Field at 1:00 p.m. Detroit will be hoping to build upon the 31-23 win they picked up against Green Bay the last time they played.

Detroit's holiday cheer might be a little lacking this year after getting coal in their stocking last week. They took a hard 9-27 fall against Minnesota. If Detroit were hoping to take revenge for the 9-24 defeat against Minnesota the last time the teams met, then they were left disappointed.

Meanwhile, it may have taken overtime to finish the job, but Green Bay ultimately got the result it was hoping for. They snuck past the Jets with a 44-38 victory.

Detroit are expected to lose this next one by 7.5. The odds have been favorable for them against the spread on the road this season, even if it's been tough sledding overall. They are 5-2 ATS in away games but only 8-7 all in all.

Green Bay's win lifted them to 6-8-2 while Detroit's loss dropped them down to 5-10-1. In their win, Green Bay relied heavily on Aaron Rodgers, who accumulated 442 passing yards and punched in 2 rushing TDs. Detroit will need to find a way to minimize his impact if they want to win.
