The Detroit Lions visit the Philadelphia Eagles at the Lincoln Financial Field on September 22, 2019 as the NFL’s 2019 season heads to week 3.

The Detroit Lions are looking to build on their 1-0-1 SU record. The team should have been 2-0 on the current season had it not been for a late-game collapse in week 1. The Lions are coming off a 13-10 upset win over the Los Angeles Chargers and it happened one week after they blew a two-touchdown lead to the Arizona Cardinals in week 1.

Matthew Stafford has completed 65.3% of his passes while throwing for 630 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions. Kenny Golladay and T.J. Hockenson have combined to catch a total of 297 receiving yards with three three touchdowns while Danny Amendola has a total of seven catches on the season. Kerryon Johnson has 98 rushing yards on 28 carries and the Detroit running game is averaging 105 yards per game. Defensively, the Lions are allowing 405.5 yards and 18.5 points per game on the season. Tracy Walker leads the Lions with 19 tackles while Devon Kennard has a total of three sacks and Darius Slay already with one interception.

The Philadelphia Eagles fell to 1-1 on the season after losing to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2. The Eagles hung in there against the Falcons and took the lead in the fourth period only to lose the game in the final three minutes. Philly looks to bounce back at home where they have won four in a row.

Carson Wentz has thrown for 544 passing yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions while completing 65.2% of his passes. DeSean Jackson and Zach Ertz have combined for a total of 280 receiving yards with two touchdowns. Meanwhile, Nelson Agholor leads the team with 10 receptions while Josh Howard leads the rushing game with 62 yards on 14 carries and the Eagles are averaging 86 yards on the ground per contest. Nigel Bradham leads the team with 11 tackles while Tim Jernigan has has one sack and Sidney Jones has one interception.

Football Who Wins?

The Lions are 5-14 SU in their last 19 week 3 games played. The Eagles are 5-2 SU in their last seven games played and 16-4 SU in their last 20 games played at home. Philadelphia is also 5-0 SU in their last five week 3 games. Head to head, the Eagles are 7-3 SU in their last 10 meetings against the Lions.

The Eagles are the NFL betting  favorites to win this game. They are 6-3 SU in their last nine games as home favorites. Philadelphia is also 5-1 SU in their last six games as favorites of six points or more. Philly will be without Alshon Jeffrey and DeSean Jackson but I think Wentz still has enough weapons to win by at least one touchdown. Prediction: Philadelphia Eagles

What are the Spread Odds?

Lions

+6.5 (-110)

Eagles

-6.5 (-110)

Odds were taken from Mybookie.ag as of 9/18/19

The Lions have failed to cover in five out of their last seven games as underdogs of at least 3 points. Detroit is coming off an impressive win over the Los Angeles Chargers and should have been 2-0 right now had it not been for their collapse against the Cardinals. The Eagles meanwhile nearly lost to the Redskins when they were double-digit favorites and looked sloppy against the Falcons. Without Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson, this should be a close game. However, I still think that the Eagles are going to win by a touchdown. For as long as the spread is below 7 points, I’ll take Philly to win. Prediction: Eagles -6.5

What are the Totals Odds?

Lions

O 46.5 -110

Eagles

U 46.5 -110

Odds were taken from Mybookie.ag as of 9/18/19

Carson Wents struggled against the Falcons and the Eagles scored only 20 points. With Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson out with injuries, I think the Eagles offense is compromised here. I think they still win the game but it’s not going to be as high scoring as their last six games against the Lions. Prediction: Under 46.5
