Green Bay Packers: Parsons Watch & Home Opener Pressure
The Packers finally open their season at Lambeau for the first time since 2018, but the bigger storyline is Micah Parsons. The All-Pro edge rusher, acquired in a blockbuster trade with Dallas, is questionable with a back injury. If he suits up, he instantly shifts the defensive balance.
Jordan Love returns under center after thumb surgery, looking to build on his 3,389 yards and 25 TDs from 2024. The Packers also added speed with rookie wideout Matthew Golden, hoping to stretch the field. Josh Jacobs anchors the run game after racking up 1,329 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns a year ago.
Packers Player Prop to Watch: Josh Jacobs Anytime Touchdown Scorer – Jacobs has been a red-zone machine and should see heavy usage near the goal line.
Detroit Lions: Offense Reloaded, Defense Hungry
The defending NFC North champs bring their explosive offense back with Jared Goff steering the ship. Goff tossed for 4,629 yards and 37 TDs last season, while dual-threat back Jahmyr Gibbs added over 1,400 rushing yards and 20 total scores. Even with new coordinators, Detroit’s playbook should remain aggressive.
Defensively, Aidan Hutchinson returns after missing much of 2024. His energy and ability to pressure Jordan Love will be critical in slowing Green Bay’s revamped offense. Detroit has also dominated Lambeau recently, winning three straight on the Packers’ turf.
Lions Player Prop to Watch: Jared Goff Over 242.5 Passing Yards – Green Bay’s secondary is banged up, and Goff has the weapons to exploit it.
Expert Prediction
This matchup screams Week 1 chaos: a Lambeau opener, Micah Parsons’ health questions, and Detroit’s recent dominance in Green Bay. The Lions’ firepower can keep this game tight, but if Parsons plays, the Packers’ defense gets the boost they need. Green Bay covers at home, total sneaks over.
Final Score: Packers 27, Lions 24
Lean: Green Bay -2.0
Total: Over 47.5
