The Lions struggle against the run. I can see the duo in the Jax back to rack up 100+ yards together. With Dante just stepping in, I see some timing problems and at least one interception. Early lean on Jax -6

under

Strongly considering Jacksonville here. Detroit is a bad team with a QB who knows the playbook. Now throw Culpepper in there and they're worse. They played tough last week, but they are still a bad team. 2 weeks ago this line would have been 10+. 6.5 is a gift. I'm going to keep a close eye on this one, but definitely early lean on Jax. 

yeah, but you feel better with the points

Detroit +6.5

Jax is gonna be pissed and playing not be embarrassed by winless teams twice in a row. DET, a horrible team to begin with, will be playing with a QB who doesnt know the plays.

Jax 28 DET 13

Really........the same QB who is back playing in a Dome and said earlier this week that some of the terminology is the same as when he was in Minny?

 

 

Or is it because the Jags have more team drama/locker room problems than the Raiders do?     You know, the same Raiders with the coaching problems and who just let Hall go and has everyone on the team questioning why?

 

 

 

You are entitled to your opinion, and can make any play you want, but at least come in with some knowledge so that some poor guy who doesn't know any better blindly tails you. 

Cullpeper was a statue in the pocket  Detroit's starting center is out
Cullpepper has not played in  a year Detroit can't stop the run or pass. Detroit can't run  Line is only 6.5  because no one believes that Detroit can pull off 0-16 I believe!!! Take Jacksonville and the over

Detroit Lions +6

Under 43 Points

The Detroit Lions suck and do not deserve to have any money put on them at all.  They are averaging only 16 points per game at home this year, while allowing 35 points per game.  The Jaguars like to run the ball, the Lions can't stop the run.  The Jags have one of the better front seven in the NFL, the Lions have a backup center, a quarterback who just got here this week, and very little running game.  It's going to get a lot worse in Detroit, believe it or not.

Jags -6.5

Prediction:   Jaguars  28   Lions  6

Jax 0-6 as favs? good stat.  I like the under even more now.  Your second set of stats show that no one wins this game.
