Lions vs Eagles Spread Prediction
The Eagles are playing at a Super Bowl level once again and much of the credit goes to their improvements on defense.
The Eagles' pass defense is up to the sixth-best in the NFL in yards per attempt. Their acquisition of edge rusher Jaelan Phillips paid immediate dividends.
Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio rarely sent an extra rusher at Jordan Love on Monday night, yet the Eagles generated their highest pressure rate of the season. Phillips was credited with eight pressures by himself.
This is critical for the Eagles moving forward because this is an elite rush defense when Jalen Carter is in the lineup. They allow just 3.6 yards per carry to opposing running backs when he has been on the field this season.
The Eagles have been a highly profitable bet the past three seasons as favorites, covering at a 57.1% rate. Since the beginning of the 2023 season, the Eagles are an incredible 17-6 against the number as a favorite of six points or fewer, covering at a 73.9% rate.
The added benefit of fading Jared Goff outdoors is the cherry on top in a spot the Eagles should hold serve in their own stadium.
I’d lay up to 3 points with the home team here.
Pick: Eagles -2.5 (-115); bet to -3
Lions vs Eagles Over/Under Pick
By Billy Ward
I’m worried about the injuries to the Lions defense, which will be missing at least two and possibly three starters in their defensive backfield, than I am their offense.
While starting tight end Sam LaPorta was surprisingly placed on injured reserve with a back injury, the Lions have enough skill-position talent to still be an offensive threat even without him.
There’s the running back duo of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, all-pro receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, speedster Jameson Williams, and we might even see some Isaac TeSlaa with LaPorta out of action.
Things aren’t so rosy defensively, especially in the secondary. The Lions' depth is simply not there for a team that already had three cornerbacks on injured reserve, and tonight they could be comprised of Brian Branch and a handful of players who weren’t on NFL rosters in Week 1. That’s all not even considering a few key injuries in the front seven.
All of which is extremely concerning against an explosive, but inconsistent, Eagles offense.
Philly has topped 30 points three times this season, and could easily get there again considering the state of the Lions defense.
This could be a game where whichever team gets the last possession wins, so it’s hard to pick a side – but I feel great about the over 46.5.
Pick: Over 46.5 (-110)
Lions vs Eagles Moneyline Prediction
The Lions rank second in the NFL in points per game (31.4) and first in completion percentage, demonstrating precision and offensive consistency.
The Eagles defense is averaging only 2.1 sacks per game, which limits their ability to consistently disrupt Detroit’s rhythm.
Jared Goff has held a completion rate of 70% or more in eight straight road starts. With the Eagles not far ahead in efficiency, the margin of difference is slim.
These performance metrics suggest Detroit has a legitimate shot at winning outright.
Pick: Lions Moneyline (+130)
Lions vs Eagles Player Props: A.J. Brown
By Kyle Murray
It is no secret that it has been a turbulent season so far for A.J. Brown.
He is coming off of a brutal game against the Packers in which he had two receptions for 13 yards — but this game against the Lions is a much better spot.
The Lions play a ton of man coverage and that is where Brown has excelled this season. And as Billy noted above, the Lions are dealing with a number of injuries in their secondary so this looks like a great bounce-back spot for Brown on paper.
Pick: A.J. Brown Over 59.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
Lions vs Eagles Props: Kalif Raymond
By Derek Carty
There is a value opportunity on Kalif Raymond's receptions prop.
THE BLITZ is projecting him to record 1.68 receptions, while sportsbooks imply 2.46.
The model believes there is a 56% chance Raymond records fewer than 1.5 receptions, so there is some value on the under at +170.
This play is good down to at least +106.
Pick: Kalif Raymond Under 1.5 Receptions (+170; bet to +106)
