Betting Trends for vs
After just two games injuries have become a problem for the Eagles. Both starting wide receivers are questionable for Sunday’s game. Leading receiver DeSean Jackson has a groin injury and in all likelihood will not be near 100% even if he plays. The Lions offense with Matthew Stafford and his favorite target Kenny Golladay is beginning to take shape and the defense is becoming tough to move the ball on. Final Score Prediction, Detroit Lions win in upset but grab the points just in case 24-23.
