Patriots vs. Lions Key Player to Watch
- Jahmyr Gibbs, RB - Detroit Lions
Jahmyr Gibbs had a bit of a bafflingly poor performance against the Miami Dolphins in Week 9, rushing for just 74 yards on 20 carries for 3.7 yards per rush and no receptions. That was a far worse performance than his two previous games against much better defenses, the Packers and the Vikings. He'll have to bounce back with a strong performance if the Lions want to beat the Patriots in Germany.
Patriots vs. Lions Prediction and Best Bet
I'm going to take a chance and bet on the Patriots to win as outright underdogs in a great buy-low, sell-high spot. New England is much better than it looked in Week 9 against the Packers, and the Lions still have plenty of issues that give me pause when it comes to betting on them as favorites.
The Lions' defense has a laundry list of injuries, and their metrics as a whole place them as one of the worst defenses in the entire league, ranking 30th in opponent EPA per play, 19th in opponent success rate, and 21st in opponent yards per play (5.4). Drake Maye has shown a history of torching bad secondaries, and you might be surprised to find out he comes into this game ranking fifth amongst all quarterbacks in adjusted EPA per play and second in completion percentage over expected.
The Patriots should be able to rack up points, and as long as their defense can keep the Lions' offense in check, they'll be live to win this game.
