NFL Week 8 Overreactions
Mackenzie Salmon breaks down the wildest games from Week 8.
Sports Seriously
Arguably the game of the week will be held at Lambeau Field with the Green Bay Packers (6-2) hosting the Detroit Lions (6-1).
The Tennessee Titans stood no chance against the mighty Lions, who completely dominated the struggling AFC team in a 52-14 thumping. Detroit is showing no signs of slowing down with a five-game win streak that includes three double-digit point victories.
A team mostly flying under the radar, Green Bay held off a pesky Jacksonville Jaguars team for a fourth-straight win. There is concern about Jordan Love’s health, and most of the football world will keep their eyes on whether the franchise quarterback can play in the big-time matchup.

Lorenzo Reyes: Lions 31, Packers 23
I love this Detroit team. It can win in different ways, its defense is tremendous at forcing turnovers and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has easily been the best assistant in football. Jordan Love’s (groin) status is in question, so I would jump on the Lions here as soon as you can.
Tyler Dragon: Lions 27, Packers 25
The two best teams in the NFC North collide on Sunday. Jordan Love (groin) probably won’t be 100% if he plays. The Lions are playing the best football in the NFC. Detroit has the No. 1 scoring offense in the NFL. They lit up the scoreboard with 52 points in Week 8.
Richard Morin: Packers 26, Lions 22
I really like Green Bay in this one, even if it’s Malik Willis under center for the Packers. Call it a hunch.
Jordan Mendoza: Lions 32, Packers 30
This will be a highly entertaining game with scoring coming from everywhere. Green Bay has looked good, but Detroit seems unstoppable at the moment, and the Lions go into Lambeau Field and leave with a win for a third straight season.
