Miami Dolphins at Detroit Lions
Time: 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX
Favorite: Detroit (open: 2 / current: 2.5 | over/under: 43.5)
Even without Calvin Johnson, the Detroit Lions are atop the NFC North with an impressive 6-2 record. The team is fresh from their bye week and will be looking to keep pace ahead of the surging Green Back Packers, who are only a game behind. Miami’s also been on a hot streak of their own too winning 3 consecutive games to gain ground on the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills, in a surprising competitive AFC East in recent weeks. Unfortunately, we’re siding with the Lions today due to their surging defensive play that’s picked up the slack with Megatron’s absence since week 5. With Detroit back at home today and the return of their star wideout, they’ll be looking to continue their pursuit for a return to the playoffs for the first time in three seasons and second time in 15 years.
