Detroit Lions Preview
- Jim Caldwell has been brought in due to the perception that he will be able to clean up the mental lapses that have made the Lions the Lions during the Schwartz tenure in Detroit. Here is the problem, Jim Caldwell has not been a good actual football coach in the past couple years. Can Jim Caldwell be the man to right the ship in Detroit?
- The Lions defensive headliners for the past couple years have been the D line. Can The Defensive line once again be so dominant that it can hide the sub-par play across the rest of the defense.

Green Bay Packers Preview
- The Packers added the 34 year old Julius Peppers in an attempt to give some support to Clay Matthews and the pass rush. Dom Capers has made a career on risk taking and turnovers, and as we have seen this quickly falls apart when key cog gets hurt. Will the defense make enough plays to just be average?
- Eddie Lacy came on strong down the stretch last year. Can he be the workhorse that they Packers have been missing?
- The offense thrives when they have 3 good pass catchers. With Cobb and Nelson known commodities, Will Jarrett Boykin step up and give them the 3rd option they need?

- Win Total: 10.5(-115/-115)
- Division Odds: -125
- Conference Odds: +600
