Going to take Detroit. Rodgers wont be playing nor half the team, getting healthy for the playoffs.  Detroit needs this to avoid having to go back to visit the Saints at the dome in the playoffs.  Detroit team total and Detroit for the game.  

Lions cover and possible win. Rodgers and co. wont be playing to thier best here as Packers secured HOME FIELD in the NFC spot.

Detroit

DET -3.5 (1u) - the Pack has nothing to play for and with Rogers hurting his hand in the first half last week, i'm expecting an early exist. The Lions, meanwhile, are still motivated to get better seeding and they did outgain Green Bay (409-349) on Thanksgiving Day, i'll take the more motivated team. SCORE: Lions 28-Packers 24.

Flynn to win! GB + Pts for me

lions -3

I'll take the cheese in this one.

The cheese is going to run the division . So keep your points I will take the ML on GB. Thanks in advance.

Yea the pack will rest a little against the lions , (by the way have been playin' dirty ball lately) so you can't blame the pack for a few early exits---EVEN SO THE PACK WITH POINTS IS A NICE AFTER CHRISTMAS GIFT   AND I'LL TAKE 'EM S.U. TO WIN

Gotta take the team that is actually going to be playing for something..

Why is everyone thinking the Lions are "playing for something"? What, to move from the 6th wild card to the 5th?? Packers already wrapped this division long ago - and the other 3 division winners make up the first four......

This is the Lions first playoff appearance since like when? Barry Sanders?? They know they have to play next week, and they're looking forward to that - this game is meaningless to them.....

With Stafford's hand still hurting, MegaTron's achilles, and Fairley's foot I'm thinking this is a "scrimmage" game by halftime. And Packers "B" team at home in Green Bay is better than the Lions "Dome Dwellers"

Plus I get 3.5????????

Gimme that all day.............

Can't see Packers giving up a win ,Plus getting 3 1/2 .

Pays +140

Once again - good luck all!!!!!!!!!!!!

Packers +11.5

Colts +10.5

Bills +17.5

i like em all except the colts.

**UPON FURTHER REVIEW** GAMEDAY SWITCH - I had detroit as one of my Leroy contest picks, but not know whether Schwartz will play Stafford and knowing the Pack 2nd stringer can still move the ball, i doubt whether the Lions can win at Lambeau...i'll take the poiints

Packers +4.5. 

  Yes. Colts the weakest play here. BOL

I like the fact that Green Bay are 14-1 and was very close to 15-0, and they have been the FAVORITE in all the 15 games, very big favored.

Now they are the underdog for the first time, and people are still picking the favorite which is lions. Idc whos at the quarterback position, but i cant see value in a divisional rivalry no matter the motivation, Flynn is still a gr8 quarterback that wants to prove his worth. Not touching the moneyline.

Over?

Who would Detroit play as the 5th seed? 6th seed??
6th gets to go to N.O. ( assuming the 49's beat the Rams)
5th gets NYG or Dal.
Who would you rather play in round one?
I think they have something to play for.

Great... Rodgers inactive. If I had a printed ticket I'd tear it up right now lol.

half hour ago got gb +7
