History of confrontations defines intense rivalry
The confrontation between Lions and Packers dates back to 1921, with Green Bay leading with 107 wins against 78 for Lions and 7 draws. Na last season, Detroit won both games of the series, but the setback in the opening of 2025 changed the scenario.
Green Bay exploited flaws in the Lions defense at Semana 1, with Detroit has adjusted the offensive scheme since then, under the command of coach Dan Campbell, who took over calling plays at Semana 10.
The Packers, in turn, have a defense that ranks fourth in total yards allowed, but faces questions with injuries in the secondary. Detroit, at home, has won 10 of the last 11 games against teams in good form.
Offensive performance boosts expectations
Jared Goff records the second-most touchdown passes in the league, supported by running back David Montgomery and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. The Lions offensive line protects well, allowing just 1.5 sacks per game on average.
On the Packers side, Jordan Love has 10 sacks conceded by the opposing defense, but the ground game with Emanuel Wilson has scored in three of the last four divisive duels.
Both teams adopt run-heavy plans for Thanksgiving, with Jahmyr Gibbs, of Lions, third in rushing yards in the NFL. Green Bay, however, limited Gibbs to 19 yards in the first meeting.

Several Packers players are questionable for the game. Linebacker Quay Walker, with a neck problem, and cornerback Keisean Nixon, with a stinger, participated in limited practices. Wide receiver Matthew Golden, with a wrist injury, and running back Josh Jacobs, with a knee, are also doubts.
