Week 14 kicks off with the 9-3 Green Bay Packers traveling to 11-1 Detroit to take on the Lions.

If the Packers are going to have any shot to win the NFC North, they'll have to win this game. The Lions also need to keep winning if they want the No. 1 seed in the NFC with the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles hot on their heels. 

There will be no shortage of playmakers in this matchup, so let's take a look at our best prop bets for this game. 

*Odds subject to change

Lions QB Jared Goff OVER 1.5 touchdown passes (-105) - BetMGM

Goff has thrown more than one touchdown pass in eight games this year. He has his full complement of weapons to work with, which hasn't always been the case this season.

Specifically, Goff has re-established his chemistry with tight end Sam LaPorta as of late, hitting him for four touchdowns over their past five games. The Packers are middling against the pass and strong against the run, so look for Goff to sling it around a bit.

Packers QB Jordan Love OVER 247.5 passing yards (-114) - FanDuel

Love has thrown over 247 yards in three of his last four games, including against the Lions one month ago. That was also in snowy conditions in Green Bay, and this matchup will be in a dome in Detroit.

The Lions rank 25th against the pass, and Love is averaging an impressive 8.2 yards per completion. This game could turn into a shootout, meaning plenty of passing attempts for Love.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown ANYTIME touchdown (+105) - FanDuel

St. Brown is tied for second in the NFL in receiving touchdowns with nine. He has caught at least one touchdown in eight games this season, including one against the Packers in November.

Green Bay could be without All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander for this game, and even if he does play he'll likely be limited. That will provide a big opportunity for St. Brown to have a very productive game.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs UNDER 65.5 rushing yards (-115) - DraftKings

Jacobs is a great player, but this is just a bad matchup for him as Detroit ranks fifth in the league against the run. He could be utilized more as a receiver in this matchup as he has 10 catches over his last four games. Jacobs did have 95 rushing yards against the Lions last month, but as mentioned above, the weather conditions warranted it.
