Disclaimer

These contests are intended to be fun as you’re watching the game. It’s incredibly difficult to get a real edge as there are so few options, and in MME contests, there are often many duplicate lineups. One play or one penalty can change the entire outcome of the game.

Game Strategy

  • Over/Under: 45.5
  • Spread: Lions -8.5
  • Implied Team Total: Lions 27
  • Implied Team Total: Raiders 18.5

Don't overreact to the Lions' loss last week to the Ravens. Detroit is still one of the best teams in the league and rightfully favored at home in this spot. Start your lineups with Lions players.
