🔮 Lions vs. Eagles prediction

This projects as a clean, high-level game where both offenses move the ball but the Eagles finish just a bit better. Philadelphia leans on Saquon Barkley early to test a Lions front that’s been thinned by injuries in the front seven, then layers in RPO and play-action looks that create one-on-one chances for A.J. Brown. Jalen Hurts doesn’t need massive volume, but his efficiency on third down and in the red zone is the difference — one designed keeper and a back-shoulder shot to Brown show up as the key scoring plays.

Detroit still feels dangerous on every drive. Jared Goff continues to work timing routes to Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Jahmyr Gibbs gives them both outside zone juice and outlet value against the Eagles’ pass rush. But without Sam LaPorta (back) to punish the middle of the field, the Lions are a little more one-dimensional in high-leverage spots. The model sees Philly winning the “situational downs” — third-and-medium, red zone, and the final two-minute sequence — to close out a 24-20 win on Sunday Night Football.

Score prediction: Eagles 24, Lions 20

⬆️ A.J. Brown Over 59.5 receiving yards

In our AI projection, Brown leads the Eagles with 7 receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown, and that’s no accident. Against Detroit’s zone-heavy coverage with lingering issues on the boundary, Brown becomes the primary downfield and intermediate weapon in a game that should feature several high-leverage passing situations. The Lions' top defensive backs are still a mismatch physically against Brown's size and strength, especially on slants, digs, and back-shoulder throws — all staples in Philly’s offense when they need reliable yardage.

Even if the game script tilts run-heavy early, Brown tends to shine in third-down and two-minute drill sequences, and the projected back-and-forth scoreline suggests sustained passing volume. With tight end Dallas Goedert often drawing safety attention and DeVonta Smith stretching the opposite boundary, Brown should once again be Hurts' go-to target in the crucial moments. Unless Detroit can consistently pressure Hurts early, Brown hitting 60+ yards feels like one of the safest plays on the board this week.

Best bet: A.J. Brown Over 59.5 receiving yards (-115 via BetMGM)
