USA Today's NFL experts make their picks for a Week 13 showdown between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers

Detroit’s Thanksgiving Day showdown with the Green Bay Packers featured a depleted roster missing several offensive weapons and key trench players, which contributed to the offense’s overall struggles. But above everything else, the defense delivered arguably its worst outing of the season as the Lions fell 31–24, dropping to 7–5.

Love is the first Packers QB with multiple touchdown passes on fourth down in the same game since at least 1978. In three Thanksgiving games as the starter, Love has completed 68% of his passes for 776 yards with nine touchdowns and no interceptions.
