MIKE'S LIONS/PATRIOTS SIDE
(NFL) Detroit vs. New England,
Point Spread: 3.50 | -120.00 Detroit (Away)
Result: Loss
This is about as square of a bet as it gets, but Detroit's mix of a potent offense and soft defense is ideal for overs.

Detroit is 1-3 despite averaging an NFL-best 35 points per game. Their defense is absolutely atrocious, and even veteran QB Brian Hoyer or rookie QB Bailey Zappe, whoever gets the start under center for the Pats, should be able to move the ball. Over is 7-0 in Patriots last 7 home games.

In addition to the over, I also like Detroit to bounce back from their 48-45 loss to Seattle last week. Detroit is money against the spread as underdogs and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games following an ATS loss.

8* PLAY ON DETROIT LIONS.
