1. Jordan Love (QB, Packers)
Jordan Love has been *that guy* for Green Bay lately, leading them to clutch wins as he finds his groove. But the Lions’ defense isn’t here to play nice—they already picked him apart in their last meeting. Can Love redeem himself under the bright lights? If he’s locked in, expect some jaw-dropping deep throws.
2. Aaron Jones (RB, Packers)
Packers fans know when Aaron Jones is on, he is *unstoppable*. Coming off injury issues, Jones is out to prove that he still is one of the league’s best dual-threat backs. His ability to break through Detroit’s defense—or to sneak past for a big catch—could be the game-changer that Green Bay needs.
3. Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR, Lions)
The “Sun God” has been lighting up secondaries all season. Over 1,000 yards already, St. Brown does not have a chill button when it comes to making defenders look silly. If Jared Goff gets him the ball (spoiler: he will), Green Bay’s secondary could be in for a long night.
4. Jared Goff (QB, Lions)
Goff has quietly been one of the league’s most consistent QBs this season. Don’t let his nice-guy demeanor fool you; he’s lethal when given time. Watch for him to exploit Green Bay’s defense with calculated passes to St. Brown and rookie sensation Sam LaPorta.
5. Rashan Gary (Edge, Packers)
Gary has been a thorn in the side of opposing QBs, laying out double-digit sacks and living rent-free in backfields. With Detroit’s O-line missing key players, he is poised for damage. Take him to come through with a game-changing sack-or two.
Why This Game Slaps
This is not just a divisional game; it’s one of two teams looking for a win to prove their places in January football. If the Lions are looking to cinch their playoff spot and the Packers look to stay relevant, every snap counts. Set out your snacks, line up those fantasy teams, and here’s to drama, touchdowns, and maybe even some NFC pandemonium.
