The cherished Thanksgiving traditions of visiting family, enjoying a turkey dinner and the Detroit Lions losing on TV may not all happen this year.
The Lions have lost on Thanksgiving in each of the last 6 seasons, being beaten by the Vikings, Bears (3 times), Texans and Bills in that run, but they are hot favorites to break that sequence against the Green Bay Packers this year at what should be an amped-up Ford Field.
I have put together a 4-leg Packers vs Lions Same Game Parlay to help us celebrate that would provide a payout at +912 odds with FanDuel Sportsbook at the time of publishing. You can check out the full game preview in our Week 12 NFL predictions, but now let’s take a look at my Packers vs Lions Same Game Parlay.
Lions -7.5 (-110)
The Lions are 8-2 this season and 4-1 at home and have the kind of remaining schedule that means they should be targeting a high seeding in the NFC playoffs. They’ve won 7 of their last 8 games, with the exception being a no-show against the Ravens, but the Packers don’t pose anything like the same level of threat. Green Bay has limped to a 4-6 record in its first full season without Aaron Rodgers, but has lost 4 straight road games since beating the Bears in Week 1.
