I am proposing we make it the Lions -3 today in the NFL (also +113 at Pinnacle for this bet). The positive juice would add some spending money for the trip.
This line looks weird at first glance, but Tennessee's defense has mailed it in, and the Lions are playing pretty well of late. Their main problem has been red zone efficiency against GB and Chicago, and they barely lost to Minny on the missed PAT. Tennessee's D should not provide much resistance. Detroit is really controlling the ball well with Kevin Jones now, and there is no reason he shouldn't put up 125 or more on the ground. Harrington should have a decent day stats wise as well.
Also with Volek and Bennett both questionable and banged up, Tennessee on a big losing streak with nothing to play for, this looks like a good play to me. It also looks like the bookies are asking you to take Tennessee here with 3 points at home.
What does everyone say?
