SportsLine's model simulated Green Bay vs. Detroit on Thursday Night Football 10,000 times and revealed its NFL best bets

"The early game on CBS between the Bears and Lions averaged 37.5 million viewers," the NFL wrote on its website, "the most-watched early Thanksgiving Day game on record and up +11% versus last year's Packers versus Lions game which was the previous record."

The Detroit Lions lead the NFC with an 11-1 record through 13 weeks, and now also lead the entire NFL in total Pro Bowl votes. The announcement was made on Monday for Dan Campbell's team, which is off to a franchise-best start and is tied with the Kansas City Chiefs for the league's very best record.

The Detroit Lions signed three-time Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams this week, weeks after Adams requested his release from the Tennessee Titans . Adams has been one of the best safeties in the National Football League since being drafted out of LSU with the sixth pick of the 2017 NFL Draft by the New York Jets .

Edge-rusher Josh Paschal and linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez joined an already-long-list of Lions defenders on the shelf, and while it didn't prevent a win on Turkey Day and the Lions are making moves to bring in reinforcements, it's fair to wonder if a depleted defense could become a major problem come the playoffs.
