Projected Final Score: Lions 26 – Packers 21
Reasoning: Detroit’s balanced offense and home-field advantage should edge out Green Bay, though expect a competitive divisional clash.
Final Take: This Thanksgiving showdown is a classic NFC North rivalry. The Lions’ explosive offense led by Gibbs and St. Brown faces a Packers defense that just dominated Minnesota. With playoff implications, expect a tight game, but Detroit’s home edge and offensive depth make them the safer bet.
