Game of the week right here as two potent passing games face off.
We close off this NFL Sunday with a heck of a game on our hands as the Houston Texans (+ 152) are set to host the Lions (- 180) in what should be the most entertaining game to watch this week, as two playoff-caliber teams, and Super Bowl hopefuls face off. The Lions are currently 3.5-point favourites, with the OU for the game at 49.5.
The Texans lost on TNF last week against the New York Jets, as their secondary could not contain the wide receiver duo of Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson, while the passing offense is clearly struggling after the injuries to their wide receiver duo in Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs.
The Lions on the other hand are soaring high, with a 7-1 record and fresh off a win against division-rivals Green Bay Packers. Their offense is perfectly balanced, with a two-headed monster at running back and a passing game that rarely ever makes mistakes, and then a defense that is still playing at an above-average level even after the injury to their best player in Aidan Hutchinson.
Overall, with Houston struggling recently, I agree with the odds and think that Detroit could come out with a win here, but what there is no doubt about is that this is definitely a game worth tuning in for.
