Not a chance the Lions will win any of their road games, and (as pointed out above) they do play even worse at home than on the road.
Tampa Bay's defense will be too good for them to handle. Ditto for the Titans. The Vikings are probably Detroit's best chance to get a W this season, because I don't think they'll be able to keep pace with the Saints offense.
Predicted spreads the rest of the way:
Carolina -14
Tampa Bay -8
Tennessee -11
Minnesota -6.5
Indy -16.5
New Orleans -10
Green Bay -12

NFL must be really proud of showcasing the worst sports franchise in North America every Thanksgiving Day. Even with a wager on the game the Lions are painful to watch. Why can't the Turkey Day games be rotated? The agreement the NFL made with them should be voided. Phuk this tradition with the toothless Lions, been old for a long time, one playoff game in 50 years or so? WTF?

THE TENNESSEAN [/FONT]DETROIT — Titans cornerback Nick Harper had a suggestion for Lions receiver Calvin Johnson after Tennessee routed Detroit 47-10 at Ford Field: Find a way to get out of Detroit.
"He was frustrated out there today when they couldn't get him the ball, couldn't protect," Harper said. "It showed on his face. At some points, it was like he really didn't want to play, some points it looked like he did."
Johnson, the outstanding second-year pro who entered the game with 48 catches for 905 yards and eight touchdowns — both team highs — finished with a team leading five catches for 66 yards.
It was the offensive highlight for the Lions, who moved one step closer to becoming the second team since 1970 to end a season winless.

0-15... ONE more folks. Why the FUCK is Marinelli not fired? If he loses Sunday that will be 23 fucking losses out OF THE LAST 24 FUCKING GAMES. That would get ANYONE in ANY sport canned.
I will be watching the Lions game at a bar with all of my Lions gear on with a FUCKING PAPER BAG over my head.
What a fucking disgrace this franchise is. All I want for x-mas is for William Clay Ford to croak.
