As a Result of a rash of Accidents, the Philadelphia Eagles Seem like the NFL pick for Sunday’s Match against the Detroit Lions.
The Detroit Lions (1-0-1 SU, 1-1 ATS) are undefeated through the first two games of the regular season. That’s pretty good, right? The Lions looked like a mediocre group coming to 2019, also according to the DVOA stats in Football Outsidersthey are what we believed they were: No. 14 overall in efficiency.
That’s just four areas beneath the Philadelphia Eagles (1-1 SU, 0-2 ATS), mind you. And with all the harms Philadelphia have endured, we are actually going to put the Lions within our NFL picks for Sunday’s matchup (1:00 p.m. ET, FOX). Too bad they’re already down from +8 at the start to +6.5 at press time, however. Timing is everything.
This could have been one of the tightest lines on the Week 3 NFL chances board, if it had not been for those injuries. Here’s what the projections need to state:
FiveThirtyEight: Philadelphia –6
Jeff Sagarin: Detroit –0.28, 44.88 complete
Wait, what? The numbers in The USA Now of jeff Sagarin seem to be around the map for this contest — his Rating’re being used by us here, however for the large part, his projections like the Lions to win by a hair. That does speak to the issues Philadelphia has had on defense, issues we saw at last week’s 24-20 loss to the Atlanta Falcons (+1 in the home).
Things will probably get worse. DT Timmy Jernigan struck his foot in Atlanta, one week after a Lisfranc injury was suffered by DT Malik Jackson and has been lost for the season. And the offense is in issue: while TE Dallas Goedert and WR Alshon Jeffery are iffy at best for Sunday with crab breeds WR DeSean Jackson is out two weeks with an abdominal strain.
