Denver Broncos vs Detroit Lions is an interesting AFC vs NFC game in NFL Week 9 between an over achieving Lions team and an underachieving Denver squad. Last week Detroit, 4-2-1 ATS, used a four interception performance from their secondary to pull off a 16-7 win in Chicago as +6 dogs. Denver was involved in a Monday Night Football thriller when they were beaten by Brett Favre TD pass in OT 13-19 as -3 favs at home. SportsBetting.com has the Detroit Lions as -3 favorites at home.
The Lions are a pass-happy offense that is averaging 243.4 yards through the air with Jon Kitna posting a 93.4 passer rating. Denver has a quick pass-rush and good corners that could handcuff the Lions passing game with Kitna’s weak pass protection. Detroit RB Kevin Jones has proved he can be a playmaking back when called upon after racking up 105 yards and a TD last week vs the Bears. Denver has a soft run D that is allowing 4.9 yards per rush so Jones could have a big day. SportsBetting.com has the Over\Under on the Denver Broncos vs Detroit Lions game at 45.5 points.
Jay Cutler showed the world on Monday why he has been drawing comparisons to Brett Favre with his gunslinging style of play. Cutler is prone to throw interceptions however and the Lions secondary is one that knows how to create turnovers. The Lions run D has also improved dramatically in the last three games allowing only 101.7 yards average in their last three games. Broncos starting RB Travis Henry could miss his second consecutive game due to a rib injury. Backup RB Selvin Young is a pretty good #2 back but Henry is a true #1 and his status should be monitored by bettors.
The weather at Ford Field in Detroit will be clear and cool around 50 degrees. Detroit is 6-2-1 ATS in their last 8, will the winning ATS streak continue at home?
