Game Preview – Patriots vs. Lions – Predictions

New England continues to roll with a cast of nobody’s other than QB Tom Brady. The Patriots went into the tank during the 4th quarter but hung to beat the Colts 31-28 in Foxborough in Week 11 action. While they score a ton with 289 points for, the Patriots also give a bunch with 242 points allowed. That points against total is the highest of the top ten teams in the league. It’s been a lot of smoke and mirrors along with Brady and  Billy Ball that has gotten them to their 8-2 record.

For their part, the Lions are the best 2-8 team in the league. Apart from their 35-19 meltdown against the Cowboys in Week 11, Detroit have scrapped and fought through adversity and injuries all season long. Their 2-2 record at home is more impressive when you consider the two loses were to the Eagles (7-3) and the Jets (8-2) and both games were decided by three points. At 237 points allowed, the Lions have given up less points than the Patriots through 11 weeks of the NFL 2010 season.

Game Forecast & Prediction: New England has a huge divisional battle with their hated rival the Jets looming on the horizon and they may look past Detroit and on to New York. Meanwhile, the Lions want to send their faithful fans home happy and we think they will keep this game close and could even steal an upset win.

Take the Patriots on the money line, the Lions against the spread and expect a shootout that sends the 51 point game total OVER.
