NFL DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Thursday Night Football
What is your favorite game-script build and why?
squirrelpatrol: The Packers come out and make a statement in a divisional game against one of the NFL’s new most popular teams. I think the returning pieces of the Green Bay offense in Christian Watson and Aaron Jones are enough for Green Bay to win by a TD at home.
headChopper: Somehow this game turns into a shootout. The Lions have played much better defense this year, but it’s about time for one of those games where the offense gets to them. I see a game where the pass catching running backs get on the field a lot. Plenty of yards through the air.
kmurray03: I think this game has the potential to be a slow-paced matchup. Both teams have been quite efficient on the offensive end, so there can still be some points put up, however, both teams are in the bottom-5 in pace, and both are in the bottom-10 in neutral script pace. I expect the Lions to win this game, as they are slight favorites, and the Lions are bottom-3 in pass rate over expectation.
TJ Zwarych: I think Detroit gets ahead early behind their ground game, and the Packers have to play catch up throwing the ball, ultimately securing the victory late.
