The Lions So Far This Season
The Lions traded WR Golden Tate to the Eagles for a 2019 third-round pick.
From ESPN.com: “Matthew Stafford said it's going to be everybody to replace Golden Tate. Said "it's on everybody." Called Tate a really good player and a really good friend. Stafford said he found out while he was in the building that Tate was traded. Said he wasn't alerted beforehand. Said "you deal with it and you move forward and you play good football." Stafford said this year's trade deadline was more surprising than other years with the amount of moves that were made.”
From NFL.com: “Gonna take a wild guess that Lions fans expected a better effort from their favorite team Sunday, with Detroit fresh off a road victory and having won three of the last four. That run included home Ws over the Patriots and Packers, for crying out loud. So, of course Detroit gets thumped by the Seahawks in front of the home folk at Ford Field. Even worse: One week after Matt Patricia's guys piled up 248 yards on the ground, they darn near ignored the run game altogether versus what was the league's 24th-ranked rush defense. #Lions"
All Lions players at open portion of practice. Matthew Stafford, who had two fingers on his left hand taped together earlier in the week, had a glove on the hand Friday.
The Lions 2018-2019 Odds
Will pay $100 for every $10 bet to win the NFC North. There is some good value here considering how tight this division is and how well Detroit has played Against The Spread.
Line Movement and Public Backing
The line has moved from -4 after opening at -5 and was at -5.5 Saturday. Minnesota was seeing better than 75% of the action.
Lions vs. Vikings Betting Trends, Predictions
