The Detroit Lions will host the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football in NFL Week 13 action. What five bold predictions can be made for the game and what should fans be on the lookout for throughout the game?
1. Calvin Johnson Will Record at Least 100 Yards, Two Touchdowns
Last week against the Philadelphia Eagles, Calvin Johnson went off and looked like a superstar. He still has plenty of that caliber football left in him, he just has to translate it onto the field. Johnson will come through with at least 100 yards and two touchdowns on Thursday night against a Green Bay secondary that has been having a lot of issues.
2. Aaron Rodgers Gets Back to Looking Like an MVP Candidate
Green Bay has seen Aaron Rodgers struggle over the past couple of weeks, but he will get back on track this week against the Lions. Detroit has a struggling secondary and the Packers are going to get back on track on the offensive side of the football. Rodgers will put up superstar numbers and will look like the MVP candidate he was expected to be this season.
3. Matthew Stafford Will Continue His Impressive Play
Detroit has seen Matthew Stafford step up and play an impressive brand of football recently. He has been taking care of the football and making plays that he wasn't making earlier this season. His play has been a big part of the Lions' resurgence this season and will continue to play impressive football once again this week against the Packers.
4. Eddie Lacy Will Record His Third Straight 100-Yard Game
Early on this season, the Packers saw running back Eddie Lacy struggle in a big way. He has recorded two straight 100-yard games against the Vikings and Bears and will do so again this week. Detroit doesn't have an amazing run defense, which bodes well for Lacy's chances to come through with a big performance.
5. Green Bay Improves to 8-4 and Gets Revenge on Detroit
Looking ahead at Thursday nigh's game, the Packers are going to come up with a big win and improve to 8-4 on the season. They will also get their revenge for the loss that the Lions handed them at Lambeau Field. Green Bay is in big need of a win and that is exactly what they will get this week.
