***Detroit at Denver*** (-12.5) O/U 42 (1 Viewer)

[Ministry of Pain]

Go!

I can't figure out why they are favored by so many points, Detroit is playing hard and Williams out might not be the end of the world. I'm inclined to take the points at least. 

Denver 23...Detroit 20

The Lions are playing hard but they are also the least talented roster in the league. You only get to be Rudy for one week. Then it's back to the woodshed.

@Justin Rogers 

This game is going to be something. Backfield is shaping up to be Jefferson, Igwebuike and Craig 'Netflix' Reynolds. Tight ends, Brock Wright and Shane Zylstra. An undrafted, third-string center. Who the hell knows how many other o-linemen and d-linemen ultimately get held out.

4 of the 7 on the Covid list this week are DBs. Called up 3 from practice squad.

The EDGE rotation includes a guy who is making his NFL debut today and another UDFA who debuted on Thanksgiving. Third string C.

Arounf 25 flu cases this week, 10 were still sick yesterday when they flew out.

WEEeeeeeee

ETA: that should read called up 3 CBs from practice squad.

called up 7 players total yesterday.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Line up to 12.5. Lions projected to score around 15 points.

maybe if Amani Oruwariye (CB with 5 INT) gets his first pick 6

 

[SoBeDad]

Should be a big game for Teddy and the Bronco offense. 

 

[Rubi]

This line seems very high,so....

Broncos- 31

Lions- 12

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Still like the Lions and the points today. 

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Still like the Lions and the points today. 

8-4 ATS, can't blame you for that.

 

[IHEARTFF]

8-4 ATS, can't blame you for that.

Scrappy bunch. Draft some more talent and they become dangerous next year. 

 

[IHEARTFF]

Today is gonna be tough sledding though. Not sure they can hang. 24-9 or something. 

 

[Harry Frogfish]

Broncos took a delay of game (first play) for Thomas.  Awesome.  Never seen that before.

 

[Zeppelin]

Lions' starting CB Jerry Jacobs injured...could hardly put any weight on his leg...looked like a knee. 

Down to 1 healthy CB not counting players from.practice squad.

 

[Zeppelin]

The Lions are so undermanned on defense that I don't see how they can stop anyone.

 

[sho nuff]

Gordon rolling easy thru Detroit so far.   Need more Javonte.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

JWill TD!

 

[sho nuff]

And he gets the GL look and score

 

[Witz]

Past few days - Who’s the RB for Detroit? Jefferson? No! Igwebuike! No Jefferson!

Detriot - let’s start with Reynolds. 

 

[Zeppelin]

Another Lion defensive player down...Alex Anzalone.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

10 carries for Mel Gordon today including a TD

7 carries for Javonte Williams today

Total f'-bomb split even with Stud-like numbers form Williams last week, forget it, you're never going to win with Javonte Williams in 2021

 

[BobbyLayne]

it’s The Oprah Bowl

You get a TD! And YOU get a TD

 

[BobbyLayne]

Craig Reynolds, still available in 100% of leagues 

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Past few days - Who’s the RB for Detroit? Jefferson? No! Igwebuike! No Jefferson!

Detriot - let’s start with Reynolds. 

Gotta love a guy who went to Kutztown.

Gotta love a guy who went to Kutztown.

Andre Reed, John Mobley

 

[BobbyLayne]

3 n out for the Lions D

RAWR

 

[BobbyLayne]

Reynolds 7 touches 77 yards

 

[BobbyLayne]

Lions with drives of 70 (TD) & 57 (FG)

exceeding expectations 

 

[Leroy Hoard]

What a gentle sack.

 

[themeistersinger]

How can Broncos Defense be so soft against a team with so many players out?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

 Nothing brings out the boo birds like sucking against the Lions.

 

[SoBeDad]

How can Broncos Defense be so soft against a team with so many players out?

Practice squad players are hungrier.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Lions 1st half:

Rushing 11-84-7.6

Passing 9/14-62-4.4

different eh

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Jones kept his head in the game.

 

[BobbyLayne]

it’s The Oprah Bowl

You get a TD! And YOU get a TD

deja vu all over again

10 carries for Mel Gordon today including a TD

7 carries for Javonte Williams today

Gordon is so under-appreciated.  2 TDs and a nice 5.6 ypc.

On the plus side for Javonte owners, the points today. On the downside, Melvin Gordon not only isn't going away, he's still the 1A.

 

[J R]

Gordon is so under-appreciated.  2 TDs and a nice 5.6 ypc.

I just want to appreciate him less.

 

[Zeppelin]

What a weak ####### holding penalty.

What, 68 total yards and 2 TDs isn't enough through 3 quarters?

 

[Zeppelin]

16 play drive, no points. 

 

[Zeppelin]

Vaitai stepping on Goff's foot when he was dropping back from the 1 yard line was a killer. 

 

[Ministry of Pain]

In a 21-pt blowout some dude named Reynolds had 11/83 on the ground, not a single Detroit RB caught a pass that I could find and in general not much to write home about, not much for the Denver receivers either, only the Denver RBs and Mel Gordon hogging up the carries with 24 so far today, Williams is lucky he managed to find the end zone twice, writing is on the wall rest of the season. 

Back to 14/70 next week. 

 

[Moonlight]

Vaitai stepping on Goff's foot when he was dropping back from the 1 yard line was a killer. 

Igweibuke fumble was a killer. After Denver TD led to Campbell then going on 4th again deep in Lions territory

 

[BobbyLayne]

stepping on Goff's foot 

Igweibuke fumble

Campbell going on 4th again deep in Lions territory

 about sums it up

only saw 2nd Half & then only on RZ

tbh thought it would be even worse

_______________

Jerry Jacobs might have  serious knee injury

can’t think of anything positive to say about today

[TampaMike19]

At least this offense doesn't give up 20 plus fantasy points. They are way too smart to know they can't have Goff dropping back 40 times lol. They are brutally honest with you the run
