PACKERS: The Packers
will be fighting a short
turnaround as the road team, but
they'll have incentive to make
holiday stuffing out of Detroit.
A win would create a four-game
separation between Green Bay and
the Lions at the top of the NFC
North standings, all but
rendering the division race over
with five games left to play.
With halfback Ryan Grant less
than 100 percent because of a
sprained ankle, the Packers
figure to unleash their lethal,
second-ranked passing attack
(average of 290.3 yards per
game) against Detroit's feeble,
30th-rated pass defense (257.9).
Green Bay has committed only two

league for takeaways (30),
fumble recoveries (15) and
points off takeaways (97)...more
LIONS:
The Lions need to get their
offense in gear. They need to
run the ball better, after
posting yardage totals of
minus-18 and 25 the past two

their strength. It's going to be
difficult against cornerbacks Al
Harris and Charles Woodson.
The Lions' defense has
stopped the run well, especially
at home. Assuming that continues
against the Packers, they need
to pressure quarterback Brett
Favre into mistakes. They might
not get sacks, because the ball
comes out so quickly, but they
need to make him hurry and throw
off his back foot... more
