Anita Marks’ pick: Packers +3.5

This will be the second meeting between these NFC North rivals this season. The Lions won the first game 24-14 at Lambeau Field. In that Week 9 matchup, the Packers outgained the Lions by 411 yards to 261, but were limited to one touchdown and two field goals on four trips to the red zone. Jordan Love had an interception for a touchdown and the Packers committed 10 penalties for 67 yards.

Since Green Bay’s bye the following week, the Packers have won three straight. Love looked particularly good on Thanksgiving night against the Miami Dolphins. The Lions’ defense has been hit by injuries, particularly along the defensive line. Meanwhile, Green Bay expects cornerback Jaire Alexander to be back on defense.

I’ll be rooting for the Packers to keep this game close.
