The Detroit Lions are looking to get back on track when they host the New York Giants on Sunday afternoon.

The Lions are coming off a 16-9 loss in Philadelphia, while the Giants lost their fifth-straight game on Sunday.

Giants vs. Lions Key Player to Watch

Jahmyr Gibbs, Running Back, Detroit Lions

The Philadelphia Eagles held Jahmyr Gibbs to just 39 yards on 12 carries on Sunday night, but the dynamic back was able to do some damage with 107 yards on five catches, including a 42-yard reception.

Gibbs and the Lions will look to get the offense going again on Sunday against the Giants.

The third-year back continues to split time with David Montgomery in Detroit, but it’s working for the Lions. Gibbs has 732 rushing yards and 334 receiving yards through 10 games this season.

Giants vs. Lions Prediction and Pick

The injuries keep piling up for the Giants, but they’ve been able to stay in games. They covered by the hook in each of their last two games after losing by double digits to the 49ers and Eagles.

The Lions have been able to take care of business against teams like the Giants, though. They’ve won by 22, 15, 13, 24, and 31 this season, plus an eight-point win in Baltimore as road underdogs.

Detroit will dominate at home after being slowed down in Philadelphia on Sunday night.

Pick: Lions -10.5 (-110)
