Lions vs Rams Prediction 

Los Angeles was able to bounce back from that weird loss to Carolina with a blowout win over Arizona, as they continue to be one of the top teams in the NFL. The Rams have won seven of their last eight games and they have scored at least 28 points in four of their last five. Detroit has alternated wins and losses over their last nine games and they have struggled to beat the good teams on their schedule. The Lions have a solid offense, but their offensive line is dealing with injuries and the defense is still not good. I know this is a high number, but I don’t see either defense getting too many stops here. Take the over.
