We have an NFC North matchup to start the week. The last time these two teams met was the Lions beating the Packers to end Green Bayâ€™s playoff chances. The Packers have ushered in a new era with Jordan Love as their quarterback, and we will see if he can make an impact in this game. Letâ€™s take a look at our top player prop bet picks for Lions vs. Packers.

Best Thursday Night Football Player Prop Bets

Odds Courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook

Sam LaPorta Over 42.5 Receiving Yards (-115)

The LaPorta breakout party started last week with his first career touchdown, and it's time. Laporta's participation in the offense has increased, and he caught his first touchdown last week. His route run percentage is over 80% in back-to-back weeks, and he is being targeted on 26.5% of said routes. Get the balloons because the party continues.

Luke Musgrave Over 36.5 Receiving Yards (-130)

The rookie tight ends will be highlighted in this game because both have been playing exceptionally well. Musgraves has also been seeing more involvement recently, and on his routes run, he's getting 16.9% of targets. The Lions have been awful against tight ends this year, allowing the most receptions and receiving yards.

Jordan Love Over 32.5 Pass Attempts (-115)

The Lions have been great against the run, allowing just 3.2 yards per carry, so even with Aaron Jones back in the lineup, they may not rely on the ground game. The Lions are weakest in the secondary allowing the seventh-most passing yards, and their opponents know it because they're averaging 39.3 pass attempts. Love torched this number last week in the comeback win against the Saints, so we know Mike LaFleur has no problem letting him use his arm. This looks to be an offensive battle that forces the Packers to stay in contention with the pass.

Amon-Ra St. Brown Under 72.5 Receiving Yards (-115)

St. Brown is having another tremendous start to the season with 275 receiving yards and a touchdown. The history against the Packers and how well they're playing may hinder him from an impactful performance. Although he has the questionable tag, Jaire Alexander should play in this game, and he's given trouble to St. Brown in the past, including going under 60 receiving yards in the last two matchups.
