Tennessee Titans vs Detroit Lions Prediction 

Detroit comes into this game on a four-game winning streak and they have scored at least 31 points in three straight games, but they will be without Jameson Williams, who is most likely going to be suspended. The Lions will definitely miss Williams against the Packers next week, but they should be fine against the lowly Titans. Tennessee’s offense has been brutal this year and I don’t care who is under center, they are going to continue to struggle here. Detroit is rolling and they should take care of business at home. Take the Lions to win big.
