If you are taking the Lions because you think they are a value here you are crazy. Absolutely crazy.
And I say this as a committed Lions fan and someone who can never bet against them.

Only problem with that theory is they've lost 8 straight on Turkey day!!!
Houston is probably the most complete team in the league this year and should cover this. This team can win playing any kind of game, run, pass or defense.
Lions come off two tough div losses and I think will be down. They always seem to find a way to lose it. Hou just the opposite, case in point LW giving up a ton of points to a lousy Jaguar squad the offense puts up galactic numbers and wins anyway. Texans the only choice for me.
Houston wins 31-20

#11 Posted: 11/20/2012 2:51:11 PM The only reason that I can see for the line only being HOU-3 is because the books know that GB beat HOU 42-24 in HOU and DET lost only 24-20 to GB L-week. Maybe that, combined with the short week and travel for HOU can be the only reasons that I could see.
GB was banged up on "D" L-week and HOU comes into this game a little banged up on "D" also.
With that said I see no reason to pick the Lions OVER Houston here.
Even IF the Texans play a bad game and the Lions play thier best game of the season... I still expect Houston to win and cover the -3 pts.
I think that this line will only go UP the closer it get to gametime... it should go to -3.5 on Wednesday so get your Houston tickets now.
As for the O/U in this game... I expect a low scoring affair with Houston jumping out to a lead and running after that to kill the clock. The Lions will get "some" but not enough to cover OR win this game.
My best guesstimate is HOUSTON-27 Detroit-17
Happy Thanksgiving to ALL the people of the world  |

The people that set lines are extremely smart, as we all know. So, why is this line sooooo low, so low that it looks like a gift? Well, not so fast to jump on the waaaaay better team. The Texans just played an exhausting, come-from-behind overtime game, then fly from Florida back to Houston, have a cup of coffee, (short week) then get back on a plane, fly to Detroit to play the Lions, who haven't flown anywhere as they play back-to-back home games. On top of all that, this is a non-conference game, so how motivated are the Texans gonna be? No, the line, is about right. |

The Lions have lost 8 straight on Turkey day? So what? Every year the teams are different, the opponents are different, and the situations are different. That is just a meaningless trend. |

#16 Posted: 11/20/2012 6:33:53 PM Detroit - 28 Houston - 23
Lions +3  over 50.5
The Jacksonville game takes it's toll on the Texans. Lions steal this one at home to snap the 8 game Turkey Day losing streak.
Lions - Over

I am laying off this or at least further analyzing it. I am wondering how a team with one of the most sacks to their QB in the league were able to expose Houstons secondary and tear off huge chunks like that. JAgs are nuts if they dont bench Gabbert in favor of hene.
MAybe houston was looking ahead to this game. Still though. I have to believe that was the case and they overlooked the lowly Jags.
Holding off on betting to consider this much more thoroughly. |

Stafford aint garbage. Lol his stats are just as phony as Carson Palmer. His newly added sidearm dish is a classic. However this is the NFL where the craziest garbage happens so for the time being I like the under. |
