(NFL) Philadelphia vs. Detroit,

Result: Win
This is a 10* play on the OVER between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Detroit Lions.

Both teams are having disappointing seasons, but the difference between the two is that despite playing horrible, the Eagles still have a shot because of their weak division. After a 1-7 start, the Lions have now won two straight, QB Matt Stafford is on pace to tie a career-high with INT's, but he has none over the last two outings. And now Stafford and the ever improving offense get to go up against an Eagles defense that just allowed 45 points to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers; Philadelphia ranks 28th against the rush, so this is a big opportunity for the Lions run unit to put up some decent numbers. Stafford has been getting fantastic protection and will be able to take advantage of an Eagles' secondary that's prone to giving up the big play. But as mentioned off the top, Philadelphia still has a shot at a postseason berth, the team can't afford to drop anymore though obviously, it's put up or shut up for Chip Kelly and his vaunted offensive schemes. Detroit will surely have its hands full with the Eagles run unit today, Philadelphia ranks 11th in the league on the ground, while Detroit ranks 24th against it. And that's good news for probable starting QB Mark Sanchez, who had three INT's in last week's blowout loss. Detroit lacks playmakers on the backend, so Sanchez (or Bradford), will also have the green light to go deep today. Note that Philadelphia has seen the total go OVER the number in 11 of its last 16 vs. teams with losing records and in its last three road games where the total is between 42.5 and 45.5 points. And note that Detroit has seen the total eclipse the posted number in 12 of its last 21 at home and in two of its last three home games where the total is between 42.5 and 45.5 points. These are two teams dedicated in getting their offenses untracked, in our professional opinion all signs do indeed point to the OVER as the savvy move in this contest.
