A tradition like no other: the Detroit Lions hosting Thanksgiving. While East Coast watchers are consuming their first meal, the Lions and Packers will square off for a pivotal NFC North showdown, as both are looking up at the Bears in the standings. Let’s dive into our Packers vs Lions TD scorer best bets for Thanksgiving, while you can also find out our expert NFL picks for EVERY GAME this season.

Packers vs Lions anytime touchdown scorer best bet: Brock Wright (+310)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
As of publication, Brock Wright is questionable heading into Thursday’s matchup versus the Packers. He sustained a neck injury in the 2nd quarter but finished the game, playing 60 snaps against the Giants on Sunday. He didn’t participate in the Lions walk-through on Tuesday, so his status is very much in question. Nonetheless, without Sam LaPorta for the rest of the season, Wright gets plugged into a loaded offense that scored four touchdowns in an overtime win last week.

Packers vs Lions anytime touchdown scorer pick: Isaac TeSlaa (+500)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
To wrap up our Packers vs Lions TD scorer story, we’ll back another Lions pass catcher who flies under the radar – Isaac TeSlaa, 3rd round rookie out of Arkansas. TeSlaa is another member of the Lions with an injury tag heading into Thursday. Still, he participated in Tuesday’s walk-through and should be another focal point of the Lions offense after playing over 40% of the snaps on Sunday.
With four Lions skill players, Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown, David Montgomery, and Jameson Williams, all having odds shorter than 2/1, I’m willing to take shots on an offense with an implied team total of 26 points and a total of nearly 50 points.
