Eagles vs Lions Prediction
Both of these teams come into this matchup near the top of the NFC standings, so this is a huge game for both teams. Detroit has been very inconsistent in recent weeks, but they did score 44 points in a win over Washington last week. Philadelphia has won three games in a row, but their offense did next to nothing last week in Green Bay. I think the Detroit offense has the advantage over the Philly offense, but that Lions defense definitely scares me. I think we could see a higher scoring game, but I am going to side with Detroit and the 2nd highest scoring offense in the NFL to get the cover.
