Jordan Love Over 9.5 rushing yards (-118 at DraftKings)

The Packers do not call a whole lot of designed runs for their quarterback, but Love will probably be under duress a fair amount on Thursday – forcing him to improvise. It would be no surprise if he is forced to tuck it and run more than a few times in this matchup against Aidan Hutchinson and a Detroit defense that ranks eighth in the NFL with 32 sacks (Hutchinson has 8.5). The Lions have faced the second-most QB rushing attempts in the entire league (63), which have turned into 212 yards. Love has recorded double-digit rushing yards in 7 of the last 10 outings. Against Detroit he produced a 23-yard performance last season and a 39-yard effort during the 2023 campaign.

Brock Wright, TE, DET Over 23.5 receiving yards (-110 at Bet365 Sportsbook)

Going up against a stingy Packers defense, the Lions will probably have to do some improvising in this matchup. No matter how prolific the offense, zeroing in on the usual suspects like Amon-Ra St. Brow and Jahmyr Gibbs is unlikely to work against Green Bay for a full 60 minutes. In other words, look for Wright to enjoy a piece of the action on Thursday. With star tight end Sam LaPorta out for the season, Wright now finds himself atop the depth chart. He has been targeted 11 times over the past 2 contests, making 5 receptions for 37 yards. That includes a 29-yard effort during this past week’s hard-fought victory over the Giants. The Notre Dame product now faces a Packers defense that has surrendered the eighth-most catches to opposing tight ends in 2025 (68), which have led to 512 yards (46.5 per game).
