Lions -3.5

I don't have any great write-up or deep reasoning.....

Lions seem to be focused since last season on playing full "complementary football" and they are on the verge of doing so consistently. One reason they are somewhat favored in SB markets (??)

The Texans have some superstar level playmakers. I'm not sold on Stroud, but he does make exceptional plays, and can scramble, so I will play him for over 16 yards. I think he is still learning, at least his body language shows this after bad plays, but he is dependable overall.

Texans secondary is ranked near the bottom and we have a large enough sample to conclude that they are vulnerable against Goff, who likely will throw a lot this game. He gets a major target back tonight in J. Williams. I will play him for a TD, and getting over 50 yards....

I think this is high Octane game, but in the final quarter, the Lions will step away from the Texans, who are prone to mistakes.

Det -3.5 Yes it's an ugly number, and too many favs covered today, but just like the stability and high level of play week in and out, and should extend their streak to 7.

Draft Kings just made a promo on NBC for Jared Goff to go UNDER 30,5 pass attempts, and made a good case for it. Looks like he will reach 28 pass attempts, and this could be lower if he is only throwing on 3rd downs with a two score lead. But if they are tied or playing behind, this could go over.

It looks tempting since it does look high at 30. Det is trying to play balanced and not gonna happen throwing 40 + times......

So it is a good play if you like the Lions, and they have expected control of the game.

Actually very nice write-up. 

Uniforms for Texans are dope....

 Candy apple red?

Nice start for them. Playin like it's their Super Bowl.

 IN GAME LIVE--

This game was over after the TD at the half on 3rd and 10. It's official now.

Most bizaare game. It was house money I lost.....on to Monday....

Det -3.5 I was hoping for OT because Texans were not going to score in OT.

In game +4.5

Det ML +140 Despite 5 INTs. 3 of those were flukes. Two were legit bad throws.

Texans did not score in the 2nd H.
