Lions travel to Oakland for the final time in our lifetimes (now have to wait 8 long years to see the Lions play in Vegas).
Oakland (3-4) hasn't played at Oakland-Alameda County Stadium since September 15th (4 road games sandwiched with 1 home game in London and a bye week). Lions (3-3-1) are coming off an unimpressive win vs. the Giants at home.
Oakland hasn't beat Detroit in a regular season game since 1996. The teams have a 6-6 record overall in this series match-up.
Injury report not out until later today, but I expect the Lions' to be quite extensive coming into this week. Oakland should be relatively healthy except their linebackers who had quite a few injuries last weekend.
This game has a Lions road letdown. I am calling for a Oakland win at this time, but depending on who might be in or out of this game might determine my confidence level of an Oakland victory.

Slay would obviously be a big get, especially if they get Williams back. Walker could be the key though, be a tough match-up if Walker is out. Waller has been one of the best TE’s in the league and Walker has been great against TE’s this year.
this game is going to confuse the refs as to who to throw flags against
Oakland is the bigger market, it is a home game for them, so expect the over/under for horrific calls to be +2 against The Lions. Probably on a last drive.
Lions lose a game they should win, being one dimensional even though the Raiders pass D sucks, they will find a way, or the Lions dont capitalize on opportunities, or both(im taking the latter "both").

As little faith as I have in Stafford, I think they should throw it 50 times in this one and should win if they do. Unfortunately they won't and will lose.

OAK has been consistently been in the high negative in penalty differential for many seasons just like DET it makes no difference if the 2 teams are good or bad the negative penalty differential has persisted for both teams
Lions only lose 1 game rest of season. Against Dallas. Win the North 11-4-1 Packers go 4-4 rest of season finishing 2nd in north 11-5 Vikings fall apart 9-7 Bears suck all to hell 5-11
Lions,SF, Dallas, NO division winners GB, Seattle wild cards

SF, NO in NFC championship SF to SB
Packers will be 8-1 and Vikings will be 7-2 after today. Lions will be 3-4-1 and unofficially out of the division and wildcard race.
This is a more likely scenario. Sucks we got the Chiefs with Mahomes but the Pack and Vikings get him on the two weeks he is out. Luck of the draw.
That's what an NFL OL is supposed to look like. Men against boys. You fall behind this team and they will grind you defense into mush. Stafford is going to be assaulted today
