Five NFL Bold Predictions For Thursday Night Football: Week 14

We have an amazing Thursday night matchup this weekend in the NFL. Two powerhouses in the NFC will matchup in Detroit as the Packers head to town to take on the Lions. The Lions are trying to lock down the number one seed in the NFC and the NFC North Division, while the Packers are trying to inch closer to the Lions in the division and battle for wild-card positioning.

Jordan Love Throws 4 TD Passes

The way to beat the Lions is with the pass, and this is around the same time last season that Love and the Packers found their stride.

Josh Jacobs Rushes For Under 50 Yards

It is tough to run on the Lions, but I do think Jacobs will still be involved in the passing game.

Jared Goff Throws 2 INT In a Losing Effort

Goff and the Lions are usually unbeatable at home, so him throwing 2 INTs and them losing would be pretty shocking. It is still possible though, as they do appear to be slipping a little.

Sam LaPorta has only two catches for 15 yards and no TDs

He is so inconsistent week to week, and I think the Lions are going to try to run the ball as much as possible with Gibbs and Montgomery.

Christian Watson Has 150 Yards and 2 TDs

The Lions are susceptible to the deep ball, and Watson is the Packers top deep threat.
