With the Packers having nothing to gain whatsoever by winning this game, I think the Lions have a great shot at coming up with their first win at Lambeau in what seems like forever. I suspect Aaron Rodgers will play very little, if at all, and Detroit appears to be on a nice roll at just the right time.

I think the Packers will be much more concerned with escaping the regular-season finale without suffering any more injuries. I do think Ryan Grant will continue to rack up some nice numbers against Detroit's marginal run defense — for as long as he's on the field. Look for both Calvin Johnson and Brandon Pettigrew to have big days for the Lions.

Prediction: Lions 29, Packers 21
