Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers first half open thread

The Detroit Lions have new life. After the firing of Matt Patricia, interim head coach Darrell Bevell has the team looking fun again. Well, at least with a sample size of one.

This week, they host a Green Bay Packers team that lokos to be among the elite in the NFL. Unlike last year’s 13-3 pretender squad, this year’s Packers are steamrolling teams thanks to a career year from Aaron Rodgers and an innovative offense by second-year coach Matt LaFleur.

But the Lions have always played the Packers tough, even in the Patricia era (well, except for that Week 2 game). Green Bay comes in as over touchdown favorites to Detroit, and almost everyone on staff agrees with the line.

But can the Lions shock the world and make a real run at the playoffs? Come watch Sunday’s game with us and chat in the comment section below.

Go Lions!
