Just saw D Jax is out and Jefferies may be out too. That Atl game was physical so could see a battered Eagles team this weak...Liking the Lions chances...50-50 of you ask me
Lions D is good, needs to get more pressure on QB. They need to tighten up against the run. Getting Davis back will really help against the pass andcal”owcthem to keep Tavani in with Davis as a pass rusher. LIONS O is really good, needs to keep Stafford clean. Love Bevel opens it up on offense. That fits Stafford strength and will lead to more 4th qtr comebacks if needed. Stafford has a more complete set of weapons on offense than he ever had. Both Johnson RBs, Galliday, Jones, at WR Hockenson and James at TE. can’t ask for much more than that. Philly is hurting on both sides of the ball.

I was listening to Detroit Sports media and they mention that the Lions first 3 games have featured a walking wounded team or depleted team and that any wins are hollow to determining the talent level of this team. Yet no one bats an eye at the wins that the Rams and Bears had against the Lions last season, they just call it good team getting the job done.
oh well if they are a decent team they will go into Philly and sneak out a win. I also think they have a chance to win this game.
Depending on where i look, this game opened with Detroit + 7 to 8.5. Now its down to +5.5 to 6. Looks like lots of folks putting money on Detroit in this one....

That's what I have been hearing too. I guess all the injuries have scarred? a lot of the gamblers.
could the Lions win this game. I suppose. I think the defense is good for Philly, but the offense is sketchy. If Philly goes out and puts 14 on the board early, I see the Lions struggling like the Titans did last night to Jax.
I think Philly is still a playoff team and they will have enough to keep the Lions at bay but the Lions keep it close.
This is they type of game in the past where we generally see some obscure player nobody ever heard about make his debut against the Lions and have a hall of fame performance....which of course is his only one. Then the guy fades away in obscurity never to be heard from again. Oh well, I hope this kind of thing has ended...I've been watching for over 50 years....Hope springs eternal..Go Lions in Philly
