Bills vs. Lions Prediction:
Take Detroit to cover at home on Sunday evening. The Bills are coming off of a high scoring 2 point loss and now they head on the road again to attempt to outscore the Lions. Detroit remains the highest scoring offense in the NFL averaging 32.1 ppg and 35 ppg at home. Buffalo is right behind them averaging 30.5 ppg but on the road they are scoring just 26.7. Buffalo is 1-2 ATS as an underdog this season and 4-3 ATS on the road. They are also dealing with some injuries in their secondary. I think this is a good spot for the Lions to cover a short spread on their home field.
Bills vs. Lions Prediction: Lions -2.5
