I can't get on board with the Lions and I'll tell you why.
The Bills/Ravens game featured two extra running backs, Allen and Jackson. It is really hard to defend dual threat quarterbacks because they can take off at will. It forces defenses to deploy a linebacker as a spy. This of course opens up a throwing lane where the LB might have been stationed. That's why we had the shootout which used to be the same type of game the Bills would have with Kansas City. Two running QB's although Mahomes has slowed up some.
Jackson can run. Goff only runs if has to and he is never really a threat- too slow.
So in a game of equal defenses, with a monster running back, a great kicker, and a QB who runs at will- I am lining up behind the Ravens. Years ago, a 54 point total in the NFL would have been laughed at. I hate the total on this game but if I had to- I would lean under. A 35-17 total leaves you under. Ugh.
