102 DET 4.0(-110) bodog vs 101 ATL double-dime bet
Analysis:
PLAY: DETROIT
RATING: DOUBLE DIME PLAY
It has been a nightmare of a season for the Lions as what once was suppose to be a playoff year has turned out to be a disaster. The Lions have lost 6 in a row and in 4 of those games they actu ´ally had leads. In fact there was a stretch at home that they held 4th Q leads with under 2 minutes to play against Green Bay, Houston and Indianapolis. Amazingly they found a way to lose all 3 of those games and that is when things came totally unraveled. With them back at home I expect a big effort from them. Last week when we can out Arizona as a Free Pick on Video I said that I was going against Detroit as much as I was going with Arizona. I said that after blowing a 14 point lead on TV to the Packers on Sunday Night Football they would have no reason to show up and play in Arizona. I stated there are only 3 times you can consider playing Detroit the rest of the season. 1. Against a division rival. 2. If in the role of Spoiler. 3. If it's a National TV Game. Well we have 2 of the 3 here as Detroit can deny Atlanta Home Field field advantage so they can play spoiler to a degree. Secondly this is a Nationally Televised game so the Lions will not want to embarrass themselves like they did last week in Arizona. Atlanta looked sharp last week but they have had a habit of playing to the level of their competition. Detroit can put up points and should again today at home as in their last 4 home games Detroit has scored 28,20,31 and 33 points. Prior to last weeks 34-0 Blowout the Falcons had scored 24 or less in 4 straight games. I feel Detroit is a very live dog here that can afford to take chances as they have nothing to lose and that always makes a dog even more dangerous. Detroit Wins this 27-24.
TAKE DETROIT as MARCO'S FOOTBALL TV GAME OF THE WEEK
