PICK 2: Packers -0.5 First Quarter

Few teams have come out of the gates stronger than Green Bay. The Packers have led 7-0 in two if their five games, and 14-0 in two others. Only once did they not lead after one quarter, and that was the opener (3-0 vs. the Bears). They’re the No. 3 scoring team in the opening 15 minutes with the No. 2 first-quarter defense.

Detroit led 10-0 on the Chiefs after one quarter in its last game, but trailed in two others with its opener against the Cardinals at 0-0.

PICK 3: Total Turnovers – 2-3

The Packers have committed just four turnovers in five games, the Lions six in four games. That said, Green Bay’s lone interception was a forced throw at the end of the loss to the Eagles, and two of Detroit’s turnovers were brutal red-zone efforts in a four-point loss to the Chiefs.

Both teams are on the plus side of turnover differential but their games this year have averaged 3.2 turnovers per game.

PICK 4: Highest Scoring Quarter – Third Quarter

Third quarters often get high odds, and it’s no different for Monday.

The points allowed and points scored splits for both teams a mishmash that doesn’t show a slam dunk for any specific quarter, so let’s consider the last four Packers games and the last three Lions games, the second halves started with a touchdown.

PICK 5: Lions +4.5

All four Lions games have been decided by four points or less. They’ve beaten the Packers the last two trips to Lambeau and Green Bay won’t have a healthy Davante Adams, if at all.

Green Bay’s defense has been a bend-not-break unit, but it's allowing 5.1 yards per rush, and the Lions defensive strengths match up with the Packers’ strengths.
