Lions vs. Eagles Week 6 Odds
PHILADELPHIA, PA (The Spread) – The Eagles will look to bounce back this Sunday when they host a struggling Lions team coming off a bye. Game time is for 1:00PM ET - let’s check out the odds. DETROIT: After qualifying for the playoffs last season many had high hopes for the Lions heading into 2012. But Detroit is off to a miserable 1-3 start, dropping three in a row after barely beating the Rams 27-23 in Week 1. The Lions have failed to cover the spread in each of their first four games, including in Week 4 when they lost 20-13 to the Vikings in Detroit. Matthew Stafford has thrown for a team-high 1,182 yards while Calvin Johnson has 423 receiving yards. But the Lions’ offense has largely been off-track and their special teams have been nothing short of a disaster. PHILADELPHIA: The Eagles fell to 3-2 on the season with a 16-14 loss to the Steelers last Sunday in Pittsburgh. The Eagles did cover the spread, however, but are just 1-3-1 against the number this season. Michael Vick leads the team with 1,321 passing yards while LeSean McCoy has 437 rushing yards and Jeremy Maclin has a team-high two touchdowns. The under is 4-1 in the Eagles’ first five games, with the only over coming in a 24-23 win over the Ravens in Week 2. The Eagles are currently tied with the Giants in the NFC East, although Philadelphia holds the tie-breaker after beating New York 19-17 in Week 4.

Detroit is 1-3 overall and 0-2 on the road, while Philadelphia is 3-2 overall and 2-0 at home. TRENDS: The home team is 4-1 against the spread in the last five meetings between these two teams, while the Lions are 1-4 against the number in the last five meetings.
