Initial Reaction To The Lions & Packers Game For The Division Title

Without an intensive look at the stats & film study, here are my THREE key factors to the outcome of The division title game between the Lions & Pack this Sunday!

1 - Packers Offensive Line Against the Lions Defensive Line!

Detroit
DE - Ezekiel Ansah - 6'6" - 278 lbs.  - Year 2   -  44 Tackles  7.5 Sacks  3 Forced Fumbles
DT - Nick Fairley  -  6'4"  -  308 lbs  -  Year 4  -  14  Tackles  1.0 Sacks  1 Forced Fumble
DT - Ndamukong Suh  -  6'4"  -  305 lbs.  - Year 5  - 46 Tackles  8.5 Sacks  0 Forced Fumbles
DE - Json Jones  -  6'5"  -  275 lbs.  - Year 7  -  19 Tackles  4 Sacks  2 Forced Fumbles

Green Bay
LT  -  David Bakhtiari  -  6'4"  -  310 lbs  -  Year 2
LG  -  Josh Sitton  -  6'3"  -  318 lbs  -  Year 7
C  -  Corey Linsley  -  6'3"  -  301 lbs  -  Rookie
RG  -  TJ Lang  -  6'4"  -  318 lbs  -  Year 6
RT  -  Bryan Bulaga  -  6'5"  -  314 lbs  -  Year 5

If the Lions rush 4, the Pack must run & take their time on short passes.  A clean game - no turnovers!
The key numbers - Pack - 130 yards rushing  - 300 yards passing - AND NO TURNOVERS!  #rd down production is critical!  Covert 60-70% of 3rd downs!

2 - Packers Defense against Lions Offense!

Stop the big plays and put heat on Lions QB!  4-5 sacks & at least 2 turnovers!  The Lions will turn the
ball over, and this game will be one that will need the Pack to be all over the field!!!
Key Matchups:

Calvin Johnson on Packer corners Shields & Williams
The running & pass catching of Reggie Bush - Clay Matthews & Julius Peppers!
The Packer D-line push - Datone Jones - Mike Daniels - Letroy Guion - Get in the face of Stafford!

3 - Packer Home Field Advantage!!!!

2011 - Packers Win 45-41
2010 - Packers Win 28-26
