I see a lot of trends where people are playing the Lions today. How about dealing with this years trends. Lions are 1-3 su and ats at home this year. They have lost 4 in a row and 5 of 6. Against the only 2 teams on their schedule with great offenses, Eagles and Packers, they were hammered both at home. Indianapolis is 3-2 su and 4-1 ats on the road. They are in my mind a better offensive team than Eagles or Packers. They are a dome team so noise will be no factor for them. They are playing their best football of the year the last 2 weeks with the Lions playing their worst. Lions cornerbacks Bly and Bryant have been horrible so what makes anyone think they can shutdown Harrison and Wayne. They would be lucky to stop Stokely. Even if that happens, Edgerrin is red hot running the football. IMO Bears are better defense than Lions and they gave up 41 to Colts lw when it could have been 60! Lions only offense has been Drummond who has 3 ko returns in 2 weeks. I don't see Lions covering here unless Payton, James, Harrison, and half the o-line go down which is not going to happen.
