’ win over the Green Bay Packers (-2.5) on Thursday wasn’t just a big victory because it was a dominant performance in a hostile environment on a national stage. It was also a decisive win over quite possibly the best divisional opponent in an NFC North that doesn’t appear to have much competition.
So after moving to 3-1 following a road victory over the Packers, it’s probably no surprise that statistical models give the Lions a good chance of making the postseason now. What may surprise you is just how high those probabilities are currently.
