Eagles at Lions Betting Picks This Week
The Lions were overwhelmed by the Philly offense and offensive line in last year's Eagles' 44-6 win. Not only do the Eagles project to be more dynamic on offense with A.J. Brown, but the Lions don't appear to be much improved on defense from last year. With Philadelphia likely to have little trouble moving the ball on the ground or through the air, they should sail past 27 points scored. And with the Eagles having a loaded secondary with the additions of James Bradberry and C.J. Gardner-Johnson, the Lions are unlikely to keep up with the scoring pace, making the Eagles likely to cover the 4-point spread. These lines can be found at the DraftKings Sportsbook.

Eagles at Lions Prediction
The Lions should keep the game close early, while they use their elite offensive line to get their running game and short-passing attack going. Once the Eagles get a lead by overwhelming the outmatched Detroit defense, that'll force the Lions to play out of their comfort zone. At that point, the Eagles' secondary will smother the receivers, leaving Jared Goff few clear passing lanes. Look for Philly to pull away in the second half. They'll also be able to pile on late points with their power running game.
