Combined Ranking in Points Scored and Allowed Among ALL Teams: Lions 10, Packers 14 (Lions win because smaller is better)Unfortunately a Packers win tonight will not give them tie breaker advantage over the Lions since the packers SOV record will worsen slightly to 10-14 because the Falcons would fall to 2-3, which would actually weaken the Packers SOV.
