Picks for 11/23/23
NFL
12:30 PM EST
Rotation # 106
Lions -8.5 over Packers (loss)
The Lions have suffered for many years on Thanksgiving, but they finally have an elite football team. The Packers have always been relevant in the NFL, but they are far from it this year. Green Bay is missing Aaron Jones today, and the back running backs are also nursing injuries. QB Jourdan Love doesn’t scare anyone this early in his career, and many of their receivers could be healthier. The Packers have flaws in their offense, which Detroit will exploit. Lions QB Jared Goff has many receivers to throw the ball to, so it becomes a mismatch and a numbers game against the Packers’ secondary. Detroit has too much talent and will always have a receiver open. The running game is outstanding, which gives the Lions a well-balanced offense. Detroit is better on both sides of the ball and should treat their fans to a big home win. Take the Lions.
