The Detroit Lions have been hands down the most explosive team in the NFL this season. And their dominance has mostly come from their offense. With a motivated Jared Goff leading an offense that features a host of weapons such as Amon Ra St. Brown, Sam LaPorta, and Jamyr Gibbs the sky is the limit for this year’s Detroit team. In addition, they have made tweaks to their defense adding star pass-rusher Za’Darius Smith to their defensive front. The Lions aren’t just primed for a deep playoff run, they also look primed to win this year’s Super Bowl as not many teams have the talent to go toe-to-toe with them.

The Green Bay Packers have been one of the more interesting teams this year. After a 2-2 start to this season, they have begun to trend in the right direction, winning seven of their last eight games. Despite the Lions’ dominance this season, things are still tight in the NFC North division, which has arguably been the best in the NFL this season. And that’s why this divisional matchup has major implications for the playoff picture in the NFC.

So whether you are rooting for a clear favorite or hoping for a miracle by the underdog, the most important thing to remember is that you must be in it to win it.
