    Lions -2.5 Is An Easy Play Sunday

    Calvin Reggie Bush healthy. Expect Calvin Johnson to dominate Brent Grimes. Grimes is 5'10? Johnson is like 6'5, higher vertical leap than Grimes. Tate on Finnegan? Dolphins have been good lately but its time to come back to reality. Who have they even beaten really besides New England in a fluke game? Stafford won't really need that much time to throw. As good as the dolphins pass rush is, Dolphins haven't faced a receiver like Johnson yet or a screen RB like Bush. If the lions get in the red zone, chalk up TDs too. Straight jump balls to Johnson all day.

    bro who cares about the line. if you read into line movement all day you'll never win in the nfl. if it were as easy as just following the lines, every gambler with a 3rd grade math level would be rich.

    I'm not sold on Tannehill plus Miller is banged up, Detroit -3 at home is still a good call.

    If Stafford is throwing height advantage is not going to matter. Guy can't find an open wide receiver.

    grimes been playing against taller wrs his whole life and doing a pretty damn good job of it.. i think you right det prob wins cause their defense is nasty at home. i just dont trust stafford against a d that schemes really well and will prob confuse the shit out of him.. pretty much comes down to which of these qbs can avoid throwing picks and i dont trust either vs the respective defenses they are facing today..

    Tease MIA +8'. MIA is a gritty team and should hang around, but DET will handle business healthy at home.

    Dolphins win here easy, like in no problem.
    Miami has the Best Pass Defense in he NFL, have not allowed a 300yrd passer all year and when Tanny tucks and runs......he's very effective. Oh and they put real pressure on the QB. Rodgers was able to move the ball and score when he had to but Stafford is no Rodgers....no offense...

    as always good luck to all

    I do have a lot of respect to the pressure Wake can generate, but DET can do it too. Megatron & Bush are back, they are at home after a bye. DET has a lot of pieces in place with GB breathing down their neck, they know they have no margin for error. I know people rag on Caldwell, but he's a classy coach with experience taking teams to the SB, he'll get DET into the playoffs where Schwartz could not. This is a big statement game for them against a similarly playoff hungry team coming to town.

    Lions win today at home, our offense has JOHNSON and BUSH back and healthy. Miami looked great last week against SD but now theyre on the road in Detroit. Tannehill is trash indoors in his career and Miller is banged up and going against a solid Detroit rush defense. Miami can hang in there, but the Lions offense will be too much for the fins to handle. Lions will pull away in the game and get the W.

    If Tannehill can play in the elements outside he should be just fine in a warm cozy dome with no wind. Crowd noise, big deal Fins have been on a roll

    Just stating facts my friend

    Ryan Tannehill is 0-4 in games played indoors, with three TDs, eight INTs and a passer rating of 69.6.

    Not saying you're wrong either. Tannehill has been on fire, can't argue that.

    Always different ways to look at a game. I'd rather look at the way he's been playing compared to his carer stats when playing in domes. One of us will be on the right side of this one lol. BOL

    Detroit is not that good at home 5-5 over their last 10. Crowd will be cranked up at first but that will die own as the Dolphins take control of the game

    The Dolphins are coming off one of the most dominant games any team has played this season, so I thought the overly generous +3 was a big red flag. But that said, the Lions' offensive line is shit. They can't protect Stafford or run block effectively at all. Detroit running backs have only broken 100 yards two times in eight games, despite mostly playing teams that have poor run defense. Stafford is going to be under duress all game long, and the return of Calvin Johnson isn't going to magically fix that...

    I think it's more likely that both defenses get the better of the offenses and we'll be looking at a tight game. Getting +3.5 or more would be a much better bet, as the likelihood of a FG game is pretty high.

    Detroit ML. Easy. Fins will miss Lamar Miller not at full strength and will rely on the passing game heavily today. Still can't trust Tannehill until he shows more consistency. Det at home coming off bye and healthy. I like them to win here.

    Everyone talking about Tanny and the Phins defense????? This just in......Detroit plays some pretty good defense of their own, especially at home.
