By Rhett Zone · Published 2026-10-24 21:16 UTC _Drafted with AI from our own data and checked by an editor._ [Jordan Love](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/jordan-love) and the [Green Bay Packers](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/teams/green-bay-packers) ride a three-game winning streak into Detroit, chasing a signature road statement on Fox. ## Game details - When | Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 4:25 PM ET - Where | Ford Field - TV | Fox - Line | Detroit Lions -3.5 | O/U 53.5 (market view) - Green Bay Packers record | 4-2 - Detroit Lions record | 3-2 ## Overview The Green Bay Packers (4-2) head to Ford Field to face the [Detroit Lions](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/teams/detroit-lions) (3-2) on Sunday, October 25, 2026, with kickoff at 4:25 PM ET on Fox. Green Bay has won three straight, a stretch that includes a 23-13 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6, a 31-7 rout of the Chicago Bears in Week 5, and a 17-14 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4. Detroit arrives on a one-game winning streak, having put up 45 points in a 45-21 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5 after a 26-32 loss to the Carolina Panthers the week before. Detroit has outscored opponents 164-148 this season, a heavier offensive footprint than Green Bay's tighter 127-125 split. The Lions are favored by 3.5 points with the total set at 53.5, and the market pegs this one as a 29-25 Detroit win, which lines up with how both offenses have trended. Jordan Love gives Green Bay a counterpunch, with 275-plus passing yards in three of his past four games and multiple touchdown passes in five of his past six. Green Bay leads the series 106-78-7 and has won the past two meetings, including a 31-24 win last November. Love has been especially sharp in this series, throwing for 234 yards and four touchdowns with a 124.2 rating in the last meeting, and he's aiming for a fourth straight game against Detroit with a touchdown pass. ## Key players Jordan Love passed for 276 yards and a touchdown and added a rushing touchdown in Week 6, and he's posted multiple touchdown passes in five of his past six games. [Christian Watson](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/christian-watson) ranks second in the NFL with six touchdown receptions and fifth with 538 receiving yards this season, and he's gone for 80-plus receiving yards in three of his past four games against Detroit. [Matthew Golden](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/matthew-golden) led Green Bay with six catches for 104 yards and a touchdown in Week 6, part of a stretch with 100-plus receiving yards and a touchdown catch in three of his past four games. [Jared Goff](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/jared-goff) needs 139 passing yards to pass Derek Carr's 41,245 passing yards for third-most by a player in his first 11 seasons in NFL history. [Jahmyr Gibbs](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/jahmyr-gibbs) has at least 75 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in each of his first five games this season, and a sixth straight such game would make him the fifth player in NFL history to open a season that way. ## Keys to the game Green Bay has to protect Jordan Love up front, especially with D.J. Wonnum coming off a two-sack game in Week 5 and Aidan Hutchinson producing half a sack in eight of his past nine. The Packers need to slow Jahmyr Gibbs, who racked up 207 scrimmage yards and two rushing touchdowns in Detroit's Week 5 blowout of Arizona. Green Bay has to keep feeding Christian Watson and Matthew Golden, who have combined for heavy production over the past month and give Love two reliable options to move the chains. ## Fantasy angles Start Jordan Love with confidence at 20.5 projected DraftKings points. He's thrown multiple touchdown passes in five of his past six games and has a track record of big games against Detroit. Start Christian Watson at 16.5 points. He ranks second in the league with six touchdown catches and has gone for 80-plus yards in three of his past four meetings with the Lions. Start Matthew Golden at 15.5 points off a six-catch, 104-yard, one-touchdown Week 6 showing, part of a run of three 100-yard, touchdown games in his past four. Start [Josh Jacobs](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/josh-jacobs) at his 14.0 projection as Green Bay's lead back heading into a game where the Packers will need to keep pace with Detroit's offense. [Tucker Kraft](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/tucker-kraft) projects for just 9.0 points, but he's got a touchdown catch in three of his past four games against Detroit, making him a sneaky streaming option at tight end. ## Prediction The market sets this one at Detroit Lions 29, Green Bay Packers 25, with Detroit favored by 3.5 points and a total of 53.5 pointing toward a shootout at Ford Field. That number tracks with both teams' recent scoring, Detroit's 164 points through five games against Green Bay's more balanced 127, and it reflects Jordan Love's ability to keep pace through the air against a Lions defense that's had to lean on takeaways and a pass rush led by Aidan Hutchinson and D.J. Wonnum. ## Injury report - Player | Team | Pos | Status - Aaron Banks | Green Bay Packers | OG | Questionable - Benjamin St-Juste | Green Bay Packers | CB | Questionable - Bo Melton | Green Bay Packers | WR | Questionable - Jordon Riley | Green Bay Packers | DT | Questionable - Zaire Franklin | Green Bay Packers | LB | Out - Anthony Campbell | Green Bay Packers | DT | Limited in practice (no game status yet) - Brandon Cisse | Green Bay Packers | CB | Limited in practice (no game status yet) - Christian Watson | Green Bay Packers | WR | Limited in practice (no game status yet) - Matthew Golden | Green Bay Packers | WR | Limited in practice (no game status yet) - Savion Williams | Green Bay Packers | WR | Limited in practice (no game status yet) - Brian Branch | Detroit Lions | S | Questionable - Cade Mays | Detroit Lions | C | Questionable ## Depth chart - Pos | Green Bay Packers - QB | Jordan Love - RB | Josh Jacobs, MarShawn Lloyd - WR | Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, Savion Williams - TE | Tucker Kraft ## Recent results - Team | Last games - Green Bay Packers | Wk6 W 23-13 vs Dallas Cowboys, Wk5 W 31-7 vs Chicago Bears, Wk4 W 17-14 vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers More league notes: [Week 7 NFL Preview & Capsules](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/news/nfl-press-week-7-nfl-preview-capsules) and [What To Look For – Week 7](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/news/nfl-press-what-to-look-for-week-7), from the NFL.
