Rams vs Lions week 8
There is no line on Bookmaker for this game, we are less than 72 hours away from the game. What gives?

Waiting to hear on the status of Mathew Stafford whether he is going to start or not.

Detroit is -4.5. When is the last time the Lions have been favored by anything more than a field goal

I am a Detroit fan and can't remember the last time they were favored by anything. Seeing that - sign in front of their name kind of freaked me out!!

The problem is the Detroit defense is just as bad, if not worse.

Finally Bookmaker has it as Lions -4 and over/under @ 44....

Too hard to call this one, anything can happen.

Take St. Louis +4 and over 44. St. Louis only has to get to 20 and worst case you lose the juice. Look at the Lions over the last couple of years, who have they held under 20, especially in a dome?? Not an expert by any means, but as a Lions fan I could never see a 20-10 Detroit win.

Just looked it up, last year and this year. They have held two teams in their last 21 games under 20. Washington this year at home, and Minnesota last year on the road. They scored 14 and 12 respectively.

However, I don't know much about the St. Louis offense, are they that bad this year?

Rams have scored 10+ points only three times this year, which would suggest that their offense is very bad.
