OUR PREDICTIONS
TOM SILVERSTEIN
As tough as it is to pick a team with an unproven quarterback, the fact Mike McCarthy has had two weeks to get Brett Hundley settled into a new-look offense gives the Packers a chance. It would help a lot if the defense could chip in something for a change, but that’s a big if. Packers 24, Lions 23
PETE DOUGHERTY
Big game for both teams in a wide-open NFC North race. The Packers (4-3) are looking to right the ship in Brett Hundley’s second start and have had their bye week to
regroup; the Lions (3-4) have lost three straight. When in doubt, look to the QBs. Matthew Stafford rates a big edge for the Lions, so the guess here is he’ll make the difference. Lions 27, Packers 20
MICHAEL COHEN
Until Brett Hundley shows he can win a game, it’s hard to pick the Packers based on any tangible measure of logic. So, the Lions it is. Lions 27, Packers 19
RYAN WOOD
It’s a quarterback league, and for the second straight week, the Packers will be facing a franchise quarterback without their own. This game should be closer than the Packers' loss to the Saints. Matthew Stafford is
not a Hall of Famer like Drew Brees, but he’s good enough to make one more play than Brett Hundley at the end of a close game. Lions 23, Packers 20
AARON NAGLER
There has been a lot of gnashing of teeth from Packers fans about Mike McCarthy's offensive approach with Brett Hundley at quarterback. While I don't think we'll see drastic changes in that regard, I do tend to think McCarthy will give Hundley more opportunities to make plays against the Lions instead of hiding him like he did against the Saints. The thinking here is that Hundley rewards his coach's faith in him and the Packers get a victory. Packers 27, Lions 23
