I know it's early, but I got a fever, and the only answer is cowbell.
I see us scoring 35 in the first half, two Jamaal Williams pass TDs, a stiffer defense, and a final of 48-20, with Tim Boyle seeing some significant snaps. Detroit is just too banged up at WR and CB.
I'd rest Kenny Clark. Figure something else out as we have some tough games ahead before the bye.

Peterson had a pretty good day against the Bears (14-93). Like the Queens, Detroit really doesn't have anyone that can cover Davante, but the Packer defense will probably keep the game closer than it should be.
Packers can't stop the run, Lions can't stop the pass.
Packers offense needs to come out hot because we don't want the Lions playing ball control, we need them winging it and chasing.
Packers 31 - Lions 24
We could have, maybe even should have lost both matchups last season vs the Loins.
This game will be closer than most think. 28-27 Packers
I think it's going to be close as well, but Matt Stafford (despite his talent) often does just enough for the Lions to lose. Let's say Packers 34-31.
I ain't lyin...
Loins gonna lie-down
Packers have won the last two after losing 4 in a row prior. Lions averaged 32+ in those 4 games
Packers are 6 and 7 over the last 13 games against Detroit. In the six wins, margin of victory for the Packers was 5+ points. They lost by an average of 17+ in the seven losses.
Of course, in 4 of the last 7 losses to Detroit, the QB was named Kizer, Hundley and Flynn. So I like the Packers chances with AR behind center. Defense in gonna need to make plays though.
Forgot my score:
Packers 38
Lions 27
Hopefully the defense comes around and plays a bit better. That 24 point fourth quarter was brutal.
I know Adrian Peterson is 197 years old but I still am concerned about the Packers run defense. As always from me Lions 97 Packers 2
Everytime the Packers play the Lions I wonder what ever happened to Lionheart who used to come on here? "Fart will chock" has to one of the all time things to happen on this board.

While it was not ideal, that 24 point 4th quarter was garbage time. If we weren't invested as Packer fans, we've have looked at it and said it was just a typical NFL game where one team gets way ahead and then the other team runs up big stats in what is usually a futile comeback attempt while the other team goes vanilla on defense to prevent a big play. The play where Savage blew coverage on Thielen to begin the 4th quarter was the biggest problem. If you are going to play a semi-prevent, then you can't get beat that easily over the top. If that drives takes another 5-6 plays and runs another 2-3 minutes off the clock before a score, the 4th quarter is a lot less stressful.
I'm more worried about how teams will now attack the defense throughout the game because of Kenny Clark's injury.
Kirksey is gonna have to step up big time.
GLWT
Nope, need to turn into the '80's Chargers & outscore everyone -- 50-49 Pack win works just as well as a Pack blowout.
It's garbage time, but the scoring came too easily and too quickly. Need to provide a bit more resistance than they offered.

I don't think the Packers had the lead in either games until the clock was 00:00.
As for a prediction, I think the packers win this one easily, it won't be like last year.
Rodgers is unspectacular as O-line is porous.
The Wrs can't get open and have a couple of drops.
MLF can't figure out which RB to use and how often.
Defense struggles to stop the Vike's Lion's rushing attack.
MLB continues to be a problem.
Opie gets carded trying to get to locker room before the game
Packers still win because....well, they're playing the Vikings Lions.
MLF presser forthcoming...hoping for an update on KC
Nothing of interest so far, just customary verbal fellatio of the upcoming opponent.
We have degraded down to some really dumb fucking questions...guess no one has the balls to ask about injuries.
Nothing about injuries
Maybe they just miraculously healed?
@Chongo posted:Nothing about injuries
PR lady Sarah Quick tells them in advance that those questions are off limits
But the lack of "significant" personnel moves offers a hint that its not a long term injury for Clark. A Grade 1 groin tear typically = 2- 3 weeks
34-17 Pack.
Not talking about injuries is the Bellichick way.
This game will be closer than we'd like it to be because Detroit, IMO, is better than the vikings. It's just that they don't know it yet. I see our O Line gelling and playing up to the Lion's blitz/pass rush challenge. I am predicting KC will not play, so Montravious Adams or Dean Lowry will have to step up, in a big way, to create the havoc KC usually puts on the opposing team's O Line. Maybe Gary is used to go up the middle of the D Line, if KC doesn't play. Detroit is one of those teams who always plays the Packers tough, no matter what the season standings are. I say the final score will be Packers 31 Lions 27 with Lion's TE Hockenson having a big game, in a losing effort. Peterson might get 50 yards, total. He will be seen as a season's waste of money, by season's end. I remember when the Packers held Barry Sanders to negative yardage in a game. Sanders was better than Peterson is. Time for this group of Packer defenders to step up. Aaron Jones gets 2 TDs, one from running the ball and one from catching a dart from Rodgers. Lazard gets a TD on a leaping grab in the End Zone. Tonyan gets a TD catch, as well. Crosby makes everything he kicks. GO PACK, GO!!!
So is there going to be a different set of crowd noise played for the Green Bay and Milwaukee games?
The D did not look it's best after Clark went down. DET is hurtin', a lot, so I like GB chances.
31-23, but not really that close. Kind of like the Viks game this Sunday past.
No punts, no problem.
Like last week, Pack 35-14.
28-17
Weâre not losing that badly, no way.
37-20 Packers.

27-23 Pack. The Lions will be able to run the ball, and I could see this as a semi-redemption game for Swift. Our offense will be just good enough, as there is no way the pocket will stay as clean this week. Stafford throws one pick for the day, but it is with under a minute left, in the GB red zone.
Thanks for the nail-biter, jerk. 
What nail biter????
