Its all about eyeballs and the ability to charge $$ in primetime.
Only 3 teams draw more watchers than Green Bay, and when you add its a do or die game for them, they can maximize revenue in that time slot as both those that follow and those that hate them will be tuning in regardless of what it means to the Lions.
Always follow the $$ when it comes to these decisions.
