Jets vs. Lions Pick
Can the Lions actually get back into the NFC North race? If so, they’ll need to beat a team in the Jets that will be focused after suffering an embarrassing loss last week. Read on for our free pick and betting preview of this Week 9 NFL contest.

Our Week 9 Free Pick:
This is perhaps the most confident Lions team we’ve seen in quite sometime. And now that they have Matthew Stafford back from a shoulder injury, it’s not out of the question that they jump right back into the NFC North race if they can rattle off a couple of wins. The Jets looked horrible offensively last week in a 9-0 loss to the Packers, so you can expect Rex Ryan’s squad to be more focused this week. That said, Detroit is 5-0 against the number versus a team with a winning record and 4-0 ATS in its last four games overall. They’ve been in every game this year and seeing as how they’re getting points at home, we think they’ll be in this one too. Our pick is the Lions plus the points.
