The Cardinals -13 on the road in Detroit as they sit a top the NFC West and Detroit sits out of playoff contention. However last year these two teams met in the desert and it was Detroit, Stafford at the helm of course, with a 26-23 win. The improvement has been 10-0 in non primetime games for Murray, the 3rd team in NFL history to win 7 straight road games by 10 or more points. Outscoring opponents by 16 a game on the road. They have brought the defense as well allowing 16.9 in games on the road, while scoring 32.9 on the road.
The Lions defense has been bottom 5 in points allowed, YPG allowed and opponent percent of red zone TD. The matchup between these franchises has Detroit 3-0-1 last 4 games against the Cardinals. They have scored 17 or less 10 times this year, 16.4 PPG for the year, while allowing 27.2, 30.2 at home.
While the Cardinals are capable of winning and covering this number laying -13 can at times prove hazardous. My prediction 23-17 Cardinals.
