ROGERS' 5-GAME ALL EARLY SWEEPER-PASS (BREAK OUT THE BROOMS!)
(NFL) Detroit vs. Philadelphia,
Point Spread: 6.00 | -125.00 Detroit (Away)
Result: Win
Point Spread: 6.00 | -125.00 Detroit (Away)
Result: Win
The set-up: The Eagles have looked terrible so far this year and I think there's a chance they could lose this one outright as well. Detroit is 1-0-1 after beating LA 13-10 at home last week. Detroit should be 2-0 after it let a late lead slip away in Week 1, as the Lions are looking much better on both sides of the ball, especially defensively.
The pick: Detroit kept Philip Rivers out of the end zone last week, so Carson Wentz and this struggling Eagles' offense will not have an easy time today. Last week Wentz was 25 of 43 for 231 yards, a TD and two INT's. The Eagles' run game was non-existent as well, with Jordan Howard picking up 18 yards on eight carries. Also note that Philadelphia suffered major injuries to key players last week (DeSean Jackson, Alshon Jeffery and DT Tim Jernigan all listed as day to day.) I think the Lions can smell the blood in the water. Grab the points.
8* play on the Detroit Lions.
