It's win and the Green Bay Packers' improbable run to the NFC playoffs is complete.

A playoff berth could also be on the line for the Detroit Lions (that will depend on the result of the Seattle Seahawks-Los Angeles Rams game at 3:25 p.m. Sunday) when they take the field against the Packers on Sunday Night Football.

Add in the fact that the Packers-Lions matchup will be the NFL's final regular season game of the 2022 season and all eyes will be on this Week 18 NFC North contest at Lambeau Field.

With that backdrop, the 8-8 Packers, who boast a four-game winning streak, are the favorites over the 8-8 Lions, who have won seven of their last nine games.

Here are the odds and other info for the Packers-Lions game. The odds below are according to Tipico Sports.

The first two, which took place on back to back possessions to start the game, were especially devastating. Interception No. 1 was deflected off a face mask and then picked off in the end zone when the Packers were at the 5-yard line. The other happened with the Packers facing a fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line on a ball that was intended for left tackle David Bakhtiari in the end zone. The pass was severely underthrown.
