This is a big game for both teams. Detroit isn't going to the postseason, but interim coach Darrell Bevell and his staff want a strong finish to keep their job prospects alive. They beat the Bears two weeks ago, 34-30, and played well in a 31-24 loss last week to Green Bay as a +8.5 dog. QB Matthew Stafford (22 TDs, 9 INTs) leads a Top 10 passing attack that is throwing even more under the new coaching staff. The Lions are 7-3 ATS on the road against teams with winning home records. Tennessee is a run-oriented offense, while the defense is #25 in yards allowed and fourth-worst against the pass. Tennessee is 23-40 ATS versus opponents who average 260+ passing yards per game, plus 15-30 ATS against teams that force one or fewer turnovers per contest. Play Detroit.
