"Are the Packers now the favorites to win the NFC North? Green Bay's two remaining games against Chicago -- beginning with the one next Sunday at Lambeau Field -- will go a long way toward deciding it, but Thursday's win put it in an advantageous position. According to ESPN Analytics, the Packers had a 66% chance to win the division after beating the Lions Thursday."
"What to make of the QB performance: This was just the kind of game Jordan Love needed. After throwing just two touchdown passes in the previous four games combined, Love was dialed in against the Lions. He threw four touchdown passes, including two with 15-plus air yards. One of those was the 51-yard bomb to Christian Watson in the third quarter."
The Green Bay Packers beat the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving, relying on Jordan Love and Dontayvion Wicks' two touchdowns to secure the victory. The win moved the Packers to 8-3-1 and gave them a 66% chance to win the NFC North, according to ESPN Analytics. A loss would have dropped that probability to 27%. The Packers swept the season series against the Lions and sit 3-0 in the division so far, with two games remaining against the Bears and one at the Vikings. Love threw four touchdown passes, including two 15-plus air-yard scores and a 51-yard strike to Christian Watson.
