Lions vs. Packers: NFL Week 18 Early Odds, Picks & Predictions (2022)
Last week, I acknowledged adding the Giants at -3 and the Bears/Lions Over 48.5 for Week 17. The Giants are now sitting at -6 for Week 17, while the Bears and Lions’ total has reached 52. I also argued for the Titans at +5. I don’t want to talk about that one… At least I got two of three bets in the right direction.
Here are a few potential EV plays for Week 18 before Week 17 begins. And here’s a closer look at Lions vs. Packers.

NFL Week 18 Early Picks & Predictions (2022)
The Detroit Lions will face the Chicago Bears this weekend and should be able to bounce back and earn a victory. On the other hand, the Packers will take on a 12-3 Minnesota team in a game they really need to win to give themselves a chance at the postseason.
Minnesota is the better team. They’re also playing for that one seed in the NFC. If the Packers lose to Minnesota and Detroit ends up defeating the Bears, the Lions probably won’t be +3.5 heading into the final regular season game against the Packers.
Adding that 0.5 to the three points is enough for me. Grab the Lions at +3.5 over the Packers in Week 18. Green Bay isn’t that good, despite that three-game winning streak. I’d argue that Detroit has been the better team throughout the year.
Bet: Lions +3.5 (-110)
