Last week, the Detroit Lions moved to 8-2 for the first time since 1962. Today, on Thanksgiving, they look to keep pace with that team by moving to 9-2 with a win over the Green Bay Packers.
No divisional game is ever easy, but there are a few things working in the Lions’ favor this week. For one, the Packers have a laundry list of injuries during a short week. Also, the Lions handled the Packers last time the two teams met with a 34-20 win in which the Lions held a 27-3 lead at halftime.
