    Why do so many people like the LIONS this week?

    Is this more fading the Eagles or loving the Lions?

    Looks like a good spot for a Philly win,

    Probably everyone thinks Lions have fixed all thei rproblems after their bye week, and everyone still has the image of Vick getting sacked agfainst the Cardinals and fumbling that ball.. Just adds to more Lions love I think

    have you watched the eagles? they could have the worst o-line in football... not saying the lions are any better. this game could go either way and getting 4 just makes sense here.

    Philly's 3 wins have been by 1, 1 and 2. They are not winning by huge margins. Getting 4.5-5 for a team off a bye seems like the right choice.

    PHI is the mystery of the NFL right now. You just knew they would cover against PIT despite all logic and reason...

    this is very tough game to cap in my opinion. I wouldn't be shocked to see the Eagles win by over 20 points. but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised if the Lions lost by a field goal.

    I would however be completely shocked if the Lions won this game. Lions look miserable this year. They just got embarrased on their home turf by the Vikings.

    Maybe its the madden curse

    Exactly. Lions have a lot of locker room material to think about, and they're coming off a bye week. It's now or never for them

    Teams coming off a bye are hungry and well prepared. Teams with a bye coming up already have their mind past the game. There is some truth to this, here you have both these occurring. If I bet Lions here I would take the ML though.

    I'm with you on this one. Anyone on the Lions is doing it solely on blind line value, because there's NOTHING in the fundamentals that anyone can point to in favor of Detroit. They've been god awful since their 5-0 start and have no leadership whatsoever. Philly have issues for sure, but I sure wouldn't fade them with a team like Detroit.

    I am worried that the Lions are due for a win and cover. Hope I am wrong.

    Take the under. Both teams have struggling offenses right now. I can see another late FG win for Philly.

    Reasons Lions +4 and not more - Vick fumbles and the "Lions aren't so bad coming off of a bye week' theory. I would make the Lions prove themselves before betting on them the rest of the year .... they can look at the standings and teams in their division and it isn't going to help their confidence level any.

    The Eagles still have some weight at home and they do have talent on their team. They cannot afford to lose to the Lions at Philly so I'm using Phil +3 in a teaser even though the Vick fumbles give me pause.

    Lions coming off a bye and getting injured guys back, much bigger game for then because if they lose season could be over and plus Eagles are overrated as usual. Loving my Detroit +5 right now, it was the first bet I placed this week.

    i tend to think this is true if they have good leadership at the top down, not convinced this the case with swartz or anyone on the field as this team stinks of poor leadership from coaches on down...

    look at the early bye weeks last year. after first 3 weeks of byes, teams straight up were 7 - 10....ATS it's even worse.. go check out the results... early bye weeks are actually kinda shitty

    im a believer getting an early bye week is actually a disadvantage. Bye weeks don't help teams that aren't in rhythm, especially early in the season when teams like Philly are working out their mistakes on the field.

    Im all over Philly here. Aside from injuries, the Lions were is disarray before the bye week and will be in disarray this week as well.

    like i said i only believe in a bye being a good thing when i totally respect the coach/leadership of team, and that certainly not the case here, in fact total opposite...

    det dline vs phi oline scares me to death,,,i mean if andy would actually just run mccoy into the ground that would slow up pass rush and vick could destroy that secondary..but will Reid ever do such a thing? think vick will take better care of rock this week but holy shit phi is miserable in the red zone, every gm ive been on them im hoping like hell they score before they get inside the 20! lol....

    honestly im still looking at this gm more from a fantasy perspective and whether or not to start vick than actually betting it (figure i can wait for that), ive been doing like a perfect job of juggling alex smith and vick thus far and i just grabbed ponder for a 3rd option to roll with (rest of team stacked so really just need decent gm from qb, although smith might have won it for me last week as guy i played put up 2nd highest total)..

    Fukk my Lions. Guys are pitiful again. The offense isn't clicking like it was last year. They keep getting field goals and not touchdowns. Also, the defense is worse than ever. They can't stop anyone. Held Chris Johnson under 25 yards rushing (like most teams have) and still got beat by Jake Locker. Lions are in the NFC cellar once again.

    Every game Phila plays is 1 or 2 points

    That's one of the reasons
    Vick shaky at times

    Phila could easily be 5-0 or 0-5

    Bizarre

    If they lose here yes I do agree. Even with a win it's going to be damn hard to reach the play offs, but it's not a done deal. I think the Lions realize what this game means and will come out showing their best side this week.

    Lions are a one trick pony on offense with the Stafford/ Megatron show and average on defense (improved from 2011 though). Tough game to call here Philly can bring some serious defense but Vick and the t.o's are scary. Gun to head take the pts this is do or die almost this weekend and Best might play as well for some boost on offense. GL

    Coming off a bye is a good point, but I don't think they are any more motivated than Philly. Reid's job is on the line and they have a lot of problems to fix. Stafford does give them a good chance for a backdoor cover though...

    This has the makings of a wild game...
