Bill Speros writes: “The Lions limp home after a tough 16-9 loss at Philly. Dan Campbell’s offense this week finds its footing in the indoor friendly confines of Ford Field. Big Blue lost Cam Skettabo to injury, their coach to the unemployment line, and five straight games. That streak hits 6 this week. The Lions replicate their performance from 2 weeks ago, in which they tame NFC East foe Washington 44-22.”

Matt Johnson writes: “Regardless of Jaxson Dart’s status for Week 12, the Detroit Lions should blow the doors off the New York Giants. It’ll start with a commitment to the run against a defense that is allowing the third-most rushing yards per game (149.9) and the highest yards-per-carry average (5.5) in the NFL this season. Once New York falls behind, Dart or Jameis Winston will be in trouble against a defense that has allowed just 161.3 passing yards per game with a 57.6 percent completion rate and a 78.2 passer rating over the last four games.”
