**Lions 8-5 at Rams 10-3**(-6, 55) 4:25 (2 Viewers)

This is likely the game that decides a lot of round 1 fantasy playoff matchups. I think this is another statement game for the NFL's best team. I think they make Goff uncomfortable and get to him several times (o/u 4 sacks?) and I think they make they shut down the run for the most part, though I expect Gibbs to be very involved in the pass game.

The Lions are a pass funnel defense, and I think the Rams will be happy to oblige. I expect a monster game from Stafford, and I expect both Adams and especially Puka (the NFL's best WR in my opinion) to get home. Not that I'd start him, but Xavier Smith looks like he might be something too.

Rams-38
Lions-17

This could be a trap for Rams. At Seattle next week for the 1 seed…

As a Lions homer I hope you are right. But I'm not confident because being down three quarters of their starting secondary is a tough matchup vs Rams receivers. Lions will have to win the turnover battle and be able to run the ball and control the clock. This recipe worked for Carolina 2 weeks ago but it's still asking a lot considering how good the Rams are.

I have Puca and Davante going against Stafford.

It’s always an odd feeling… but let ‘er rip Stafford. To my guys. And only my guys.

Was looking for a reason to get off Detroit with that many points (besides the Rams are VERY good and Vegas really thinks so, too). You just gave me my reasons, thanks.

Always trust in Hoard. He will get you 3 reasons even if you only need two. Or want 4.

Denver Under it is. 👍 And probly some Denver sprinkled in as well.
 
Lions have not looked very good in these high evel games this season but I like them today on the road, weather should be nice, all systems go

24-23 Lions win late, despite almost 50 points I don't think this is going to be as high flying as everyone thinks, very tight in the 1st Half, looser int he 2nd
