LIONS at PACKERS

Mon., ESPN, 8:30 p.m., Lions by 2, 43½

HANK’S HONEYS: Monday night at Lambeau and Packers are underdogs? There’s a reason. Detroit has been struggling in the red zone but Matt Stafford owns this QB matchup big time, even considering his 3-10 SU record vs. Pack. He did not disappoint by throwing for over 400 yards in a loss to Steelers last week. Stafford and the Lions face a young Green Bay QB who faces a strong learning curve. Pack doesn’t have running game to prop up Brett Hundley and Mike McCarthy has to take his training wheels off after a bye week. We think McCarthy and company will eventually find a way to persevere but that starts Week 10. IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Lions and the over.
