The Detroit Lions, led by quarterback Jared Goff, are favored as 1.5-point road favorites against the Green Bay Packers in their Week 4 TNF game. According to NFL public betting splits, the majority of bets are being placed on the Lions to win on the moneyline. However, there is division among bettors when it comes to the point spread and the total points.
Despite the confidence in the Lions to win, there is uncertainty as to whether they will cover the spread against the Packers. The Lions have struggled in the past when playing at Green Bay, with a 4-26 record in their last 30 games. However, they have been successful as road favorites against the Packers, going 4-1 against the spread.
In terms of the total points, bettors are divided on whether the game will go over or under 45.5 points. The Lions and Packers have a history of close games, with the over/under record being 8-7 in favor of the over in their last 15 meetings at Lambeau Field. The last two games between the two teams have gone under the total.
Despite the Lions’ poor record at Green Bay, bettors are showing confidence in them to win outright on the moneyline, with 85% of handle and 57% of bets going in their favor. The Lions have had recent success against the Packers, winning their last three meetings. They have also been on a winning streak overall, winning their last five games against NFC North teams.
However, the Packers have been strong at home, winning 14 of their last 19 home games. The Lions’ last two September road victories against the Packers came in games played at Milwaukee, not at Lambeau Field. The Packers have been particularly dominant in September games against the Lions at Lambeau Field, going 6-0-1 in their last seven meetings.
In conclusion, while the NFL public betting splits favor the Lions to win outright, there is uncertainty as to whether they will cover the point spread and whether the game will go over or under the total points. The history between these two teams suggests a close and competitive matchup, making it difficult to predict the outcome.
