too much Teddy.........................

Teddy Bridge over troubled Water!

No Teddy... No way... Don't see him playing.

Detroit -2

Also, what is the deal with the amount of Teddy Bridgewater love.  He is better than Ponder, but that doesn't take much.  He has played against the Saints and the Falcons.  Put up nice numbers against the Falcons, but in total 61.6% of his pass yards this year have been YAC yards.  Average YAC to total pass yard percentage typically hovers around 50-55%.

Minnesota Vikings own the Lions head to head and I don't expect that to change. The Lions are banged up on offense, Megatron most likely won't play.. Vikings caught the Lions at the right time.

Have a feeling the Vikings will be small favorites come Sunday..

Ditto. My book was giving the Vikes 2 points yesterday,  was all over it.  Vikings, handily.

Detroit without megatron for the LARGE

The Over 45.5 looks good. = I'll stick with that.

Tough one to call.  I say the Lions rally around there new kicker and pull off a rare road win by the skin of there teeth. 

LIONS -2

Minnesota

Detroit who? Oh yes the team that screwed me over last week. That scumbag team who can't win at home.

I think Detroit is winning this. They have one of the best defenses in the league and they can't afford to lose another game. 

Here is my parlay play for week 6. only going to do one a week now instead of two.

The first thing that crossed my mine when I read this was "this is exactly what Vegas wants the public to see this game".  Vegas already came out firing saying that Lions are the favorite.  They know the Lions could've easily won that game last week, and they know this week that the Lions still have one of the best defenses in the league and have a new kicker.  There play calling is slowly getting diversified without Megatron.  Hopefully it's getting better diversified for me and the Lions backers.

lions pass rush vs Bridgewater unpredictable play as teams have not seen enough of him to make a full evaluation?

What's everyone's thoughts now that the line jump to Vikings -2. I was gonna bet vikes +1 but not sure now. I have a feeling this one will end in a weird way and only by 1 or 2 points. Just not sure which side. 

Lions +3 -135, the lions D is damn good, they will show it some more on sunday, lions win in a 24 -10 type of game

no reggie bush or cal Johnson - ill take a shot with brigewater - det plays bad on the road - low score

minn 21

det 17

minn -2 and under 43.4

Like the under in this!

I like the Lions to get on track.....Golden Tate will have a big game and I love that D....expect a Lions Def TD today with a young QB against a solid and very athletic LB corps of the Lions.  Staford is due for a shoot out game and Minny at home with banged up secondary is iffy.

Lions front seven may be the best in the league. Against a rookie qb that for some reason most of you are gaga over. Must have been Louisville backers. Reggie bush being out is actually a blessing in disguise because this lions team runs more efficiently when joique bell is in the game pounding the rock.

Lions for me.
