Expert predictions: Majority picking Packers to lose to Lions in Week 1

The Green Bay Packers might be a slight betting favorite entering Sunday's season opener against the Detroit Lions, but the majority of NFL experts are taking Dan Campbell's team to escape Lambeau Field with a Week 1 win.

Of the 64 experts we reviewed, only 24 picked the Packers to win straight up -- meaning roughly two-thirds of the pickers are taking the Lions to win.

Disrespect for the Packers? Probably not. The Lions are coming off a 15-win season in which they swept the Packers, and Campbell's team is probably the best collection of young, elite talent in football.
