The Green Bay Packers visit the Detroit Lions on Thursday night in a game that can be seen on Prime Video. The Packers come into the game with one of the best records in the league at 9-3 but they are in third place in their own division, as they trail the Minnesota Vikings by one game and they are two games behind the Detroit Lions who are 11-1. The Lions are listed as a 3.5-point home favorite with a total of 50.5. The Packers and Lions met last month in Green Bay and the Lions pulled out a 24-14 win. The teams have split their last 10 meetings with five of those games going over the total and five going under. Let’s look at this Thursday night game, NFL odds at PROLINE+ and Packers vs. Lions Same Game Parlay Picks.

Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions Same Game Parlay
The Packers are 9-3 SU and 6-6 ATS with five games going over the total, six going under, with one push. The Lions are 11-1 SU and 9-3 ATS with five games going over the total, six going under, with one push. This is a must-win game for the Packers if they are going to have any chance to catch Detroit in the division, as a loss would put them three games back but in reality, it would be worse since they would lose the tiebreaker having been swept by the Lions.
Green Bay Packers
The Packers are averaging 26.5 points per game with much of their success coming on the ground, as they are 5th in the NFL in rushing yards at 148.5 yards per contest. The Packers are giving up 20 points per game. Green Bay is in good shape to make the playoffs, but because they play in the toughest division in the NFL, they are unlikely to win the NFC North, as they trail both Detroit and Minnesota in the division. Josh Jacobs leads the team in rushing with 987 yards, Jordan Love has thrown for 2,518 yards, while Jayden Reed leads the team in receiving with 693 yards.
Detroit Lions
The Lions lead the league in points per game at 31.9. They are giving up just 16.9 points per game which is 3rd in the league. Jahmyr Gibbs leads the team in rushing with 973 yards, Jared Goff has thrown for 2,982 yards, while Amon-Ra St. Brown has 820 receiving yards.
Packers vs. Lions Series
As noted earlier, the teams have split their last ten meetings. The Lions have gone 7-3 ATS with five games going over the total and five going under. The Lions won in Green Bay 24-14 last month. The Packers won 29-22 in Detroit last season and they are 5-5 SU in the last 10 games at Detroit and they are 3-7 ATS with six games going over the total and four going under.
Packers at Lions Same Game Parlay Pick
In the last two weeks on Thursday night, I have hit one parlay and lost one. As I have said repeatedly, Thursday Night NFL games are a different animal to handicap and predict. One thing that normally works well on Thursday night is to take the underdog. It worked two weeks ago with the Browns but it didn’t work last week with the Dolphins. This game on Thursday is a tough one, as I am still not sold on the Packers but I don’t like to take favorites on Thursday night. I will tepidly take Green Bay plus the points and play the game to go over the total.
