Lions vs. Rams Prediction & Pick

Pick ATS: Los Angeles (+3) Pick OU: Under (51.5) Prediction: Detroit 25 – Los Angeles 23

Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Will Hill

I know the Rams are everyone’s darling sleeper pick, and they have far exceeded expectations this season. 

However, this is a Lions team that is a bad call in Dallas away from perhaps beating the Cowboys and being the No. 2 seed in the NFC, and they’ve been the clearly better team this season. 

The storylines for this one are fantastic — Matthew Stafford vs. the Lions, Jared Goff vs. the coach who traded him, and the Lions hosting their first playoff game in three decades. 

This should be a fun game. 

I just think the hype on the Rams has gone too far. The Lions are the better team, and they’re at home. 

I’ll lay the 3.5.

PICK: Lions (-3.5) to lose by fewer than 3.5 points (or win outright)
