The Lions pulled off arguably the shock of the season last week when they beat the crap out of the ten win Cardinals! Detroit is one of the better two-win sides you’ll see, but they’ll be up against a 6-8 Falcons side who need this game if they’re going to keep their outside chances of playing postseason football alive.
Former LSU pass-catcher Russell Gage has impressed in recent weeks, stepping up in the absence of Calvin Ridley. Gage has over 60 receiving yards in each of his last four games and draws a good matchup against a poor Lions secondary.
Spread: Lions +6.5
Total: 42.5
Game Prediction: Falcons 24-20 Lions
Best Bet: Russell Gage over 5.5 receptions & over 64.5 receiving yards @ 11/5 with Bet365 Bet Builder. [0.5]
