Denver Broncos vs Detroit Lions prediction

The Detroit Lions are getting the benefit of the doubt given they’ve been the better team over the larger sample size, and they’re at home. However, the Lions defense has fallen off a cliff over the last month and Goff has been sloppy with the football. The Denver Broncos remain one of the hotter teams in the league with wins in 6 of their last 7 games, and the offense has finally helped out the defense. We’re getting 4.5 points with a hot Broncos team that could win this game outright. Give me the road dog.
