Expert Picks
The Lions have won two straight in part due to improved play in the secondary, as they've grabbed four interceptions the past two games. Yes, they will struggle to stop Saquon Barkley. But their offense, with DeAndre Swift practicing in full and Amon-Ra St. Brown off the injury report entirely, should move the ball well against a Giants defense that allowed 6.4 yards per play to Houston last week. The Giants won't have right tackle Evan Neal again, and left guard Josh Ezeudu (neck) also is in doubt. Take the points.
The Lions are suddenly on a two-game winning streak, but they were severely outgained in yardage in both games and may be fortunate to win both thanks to some brutal interceptions. Daniel Jones has thrown just two picks all year, and I expect him to have a lot of success thrashing the awful Detroit defense that's last in pass yards per play and third-down rate. The Lions could have success offensively as well with the Giants coming off a mediocre defensive effort against a bad Texans team, but I can't see Detroit winning back-to-back games on the road. The one thing that worries me is that the Giants are in a clear lookahead spot with a Cowboys Thanksgiving matchup on deck.
