IIn NFL Betting Picks Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford was held out of practice for the third time in the last four days, leaving his availability for Sunday's game at Green Bay an open question.

Stafford didn't practice Monday and Tuesday, took part in individual drills Wednesday and sat out again Thursday.
Lions coach Jim Schwartz said Thursday that he would let the team's injury report "handle where we are with the quarterback."
Calvin Johnson, the Lions' No. 1 receiver, hasn't practiced the last two days because of a knee injury he sustained against the Steelers. Schwartz didn't offer an update on Johnson's status Thursday.
Matthew Stafford was held out of practice Wednesday by the Detroit Lions because of his injured right knee.
The Lions chose to not say anything more than that.
Detroit coach Jim Schwartz replied, 'We'll see on Sunday,' when told the Pittsburgh Steelers said they expected to face Stafford.
Even if Stafford can't practice again on Thursday, Schwartz said that won't necessarily rule him out.
