Since Week 8 the Denver Broncos have been one of the most solid teams in the NFL. Russell Wilson looks like the old Russell Wilson. Sean Payton has this team playing very good football as the defense has been stingy since they were annihilated by the Dolphins. The Texans game was a heartbreaker that I personally thought they should have won, if they would have they would be rolling into this game on a 7 game win streak and its no accident. The Detroit Lions on the other hand come into this game 3-2 the last 5 weeks which isn't too bad, but they got their asses handed to them by the lowly Bears after barely squeaking out wins against the Chargers, Bears, Saints, and losing to the Packers on Thanksgiving. Their defense has been getting torched and I don't think they are gonna be able to hold down Wilson and the Broncos well enough to cover the 4.5 and could easily see them losing the game. In any case its too many points for 2 teams that are headed in seemingly opposite directions. One team has forgotten how to stop anyone and the other is in the process of figuring it all out and thinking they can be a contender with their Super Bowl winning HOF Quiarterback rejuvenated and at the helm.
Gimme the Broncos +4.5
