Heading to Lambeau to take on the Green Bay Packers is generally daunting for opposing defenses, but with Aaron Rodgers on the shelf and Brett Hundley starting, it's a different story.

The Detroit Lions head to Green Bay for Monday Night Football and the surprising Lions defense poses a stiff test for Hundley. Per numberFire metrics, the Lions' defense ranks as the third-best and they've been forcing turnovers as well as any other team in the league. They've forced 16 turnovers through seven games (second-most in the league), and have forced multiple turnovers on five different occasions.

Meanwhile, Hundley struggled in his first NFL start two weeks ago. Against the New Orleans Saints, he threw for just 87 yards and an interception at Lambeau. He did add a rushing touchdown, but was also sacked once.

The Lions are a 2.5-point road favorite in this game with a 43-point over/under. Against Hundley and their division rivals, the Lions make for a good streamer if Buffalo and Tennessee are not available.
