The Green Bay Packers are approaching their Week 10 bye week, and it couldn’t come at a better time.

As they prepare for a critical Week 9 matchup against the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions, the Packers face a host of injury concerns.

Jordan Love’s status is still uncertain, and several key defenders, including cornerback Jaire Alexander, may not be available against a potent Lions offense.

Even with home-field advantage, this game will be a tough test for the Packers. Slowing down Detroit could feel like a moral victory.

With the Lions favored by three points, how can the Packers manage an upset at Lambeau Field?Here are three bold predictions for the game.

Bold Predictions for Packers vs. Lions NFC North Showdown

1. Packers force Jared Goff into at least two interceptions

This used to be a routine prediction, but Jared Goff has become one of the league’s most efficient quarterbacks since joining the Lions in 2021.

He hasn’t thrown an interception since September 22 against the Cardinals, with 10 touchdown passes and just 13 incompletions over his last four games.

For the Packers to disrupt Goff, they’ll need their league-best turnover-forcing defense to step up.

In rainy conditions, I predict the Packers will make Goff throw at least two interceptions.

2. Edgerrin Cooper gets the defensive triple crown (1 FF, 1 sack, 1 INT)

Rookie linebacker Edgerrin Cooper has been outstanding, particularly in Week 8 against the Jaguars.

He had nine tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss, a forced fumble, and a pass breakup, earning NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors.

his week, I believe Cooper will achieve the defensive “triple crown” by recording a forced fumble, a sack, and an interception. Feeling even bolder, I predict he’ll add a defensive touchdown. A game-changing moment like this could swing the outcome in Green Bay’s favor.

3. Josh Jacobs scores three total touchdowns

Despite dealing with injuries, running back Josh Jacobs is expected to play.

With possible rainy conditions, this could be his breakout game.

Jacobs has scored four touchdowns this season, with three coming in his last two games, including a multi-touchdown performance in Week 8.

I’m predicting Jacobs will find the end zone three times against the Lions, delivering a signature game that could help power the Packers to a surprising victory.
