Both teams are dealing with injuries with the Patriots being without their starting quarterback and the Lions could be without their two best offensive weapons. The Lion's defense is allowing the most points in the league while the Patriot's offense is scoring the 24th most points a game. The New England defense is allowing the 26th most rushing yards, the 22nd most points and the 19th most yards. The Lions are scoring the most points a game as well as averaging the most total yards. The lions have gone over in their last six games, and the Pats have gone over in thier last 7 at home. The Pats should be able to run the ball against the Detroit defensive front and Detroit has in the past made backup quarterbacks look like all pros. Both teams get their points in this one and the game goes over the number.

Plau on the OVER
