Lions Host Packers In Thanksgiving Divisional Showdown: How To Watch

DETROIT — The Detroit Lions will try to keep their division hopes alive on Thanksgiving Day when they welcome the Green Bay Packers.

The Lions (7-4) need a win to stay in the race for the NFC North. A win over the Packers (7-3-1) would put them just a half game back of the division leading Chicago Bears (8-3), whom they beat 52-21 in week 2.

A loss, on the other hand, would drop them a game and a half behind the Bears and two full games behind the Packers. They would also lose any tie-breaker in the win column against the Packers.

Kickoff is scheduled 1 p.m. Thursday at Ford Field. The easiest way to watch the game is on Fox (channel 2). The game will also be streamed on FOX One, Tubi, Fubo and NFL+.

As of Tuesday afternoon, the Lions were 2.5 favorites to win the game. Detroit rocker Jack White is scheduled to perform at halftime.

The Packers beat the Lions 27-13 back in week 1.
