Titans vs. Lions Prediction

I’m on the Lions here. I know all of the spots and angles look towards Tennessee here. Big favorite for Detroit with a huge look-ahead spot on deck against the Packers. However, the Titans’ defense in my eyes is fraudulent as we saw against Buffalo, and I think the Lions’ offense is just a better version of Buffalo’s offense as well with the two-headed monster of Gibbs and Montgomery. Not only that, but Dan Campbell is not the kind of coach to kick back and let his guys look ahead a week. I think Detroit will be laser-focused on the task at hand, and will get the job done here. Give me Detroit.
