The Green Bay Packers' 29-22 upset over the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day, led by Jordan Love's 3 touchdown passes, has put the Packers back in the playoff hunt. Love's performance marked a career day, overshadowing the Lions' struggling offense. Despite being 8.5-point favorites and having the largest spread as a favorite on Thanksgiving since 1997, the Lions suffered their seventh consecutive Thanksgiving Day loss. This loss extends the Lions' losing streak against the Packers and marks the third-largest upset on Thanksgiving since 1970.

The Lions closed as 8.5-point favorites at ESPN BET. That's the fourth-largest spread by the Lions over the Packers in the Super Bowl Era -- that's 117 games -- and the largest since Nov. 1992, when the Lions were 10-point favorites. (The Lions ended up losing that game 27-13)
The Detroit Lions close as 8.5-point favorites at most sportsbooks. That is the biggest favorite Detroit has been on Thanksgiving since 1976 (-9 vs. Bills), per @EvanHAbrams
