Schatz: Yes, the Lions got spanked by the Ravens, but that's one of the best, most well-rounded teams in football. It was just one game, as awful as it was. The Lions are still fifth in DVOA on the season. The Raiders are 30th. I'm comfortable with the Lions and laying 7.5.
Walder: I'm with Aaron and am willing to lay the points with the Lions. In particular, I think the Lions' offense should roll. Just about the only player on the Raiders' defense who scares you is Maxx Crosby, and he's facing Penei Sewell, who ranks second in pass block win rate among tackles. I like Sewell in that matchup, and if that's right Jared Goff should have all day.
Fulghum: The Lions aren't not laying too many points.I like Detroit -7.5 in this bounce-back spot against the Raiders. Despite the final score last week, the Lions are still a very good team. They didn't get exposed; they just ran into a bad spot. This, however, is a great spot for a bounce-back. They're back at home, where Goff is far more productive, and they have a plush matchup against a Raiders team that's very forgiving on defense and fairly punchless on offense. Detroit wins this one big.
