Lions +114
Maybe I am nuts for fading TWO undefeated teams straight up and coming off a bye, but I like Detroit in this spot.
Admittedly, I liked them more in this spot before the Week 6 games, when they still had Hutchinson and hadn't exploded over the Cowboys. I just think they're a better overall football team, and this is the first opportunity to make a statement against a team that is over-achieving and feeling themselves a bit
I kind of feel like while Minnesota has a great defense, their offense is teetering a bit. You can feel Darnold regressing back to being himself. He's gotten a way with a lot of bad throws, and I think is right on the edge of being that Darnold we all know and love. They may move the ball a little bit against a Lions defense that has some issues, and no Hutchinson definitely helps Minnesota, but I think Darnold will make a couple mistakes that will prove costly.
Detroit's offense is just so damn versatile, that I think Flores will finally get cracked.
I see a close game, but Detroit I think shows it's the better team and gets the win. Really like the price here, and to me is worth a bet.
