The Philadelphia Eagles (2-5) hope to snap their two-game losing skid as they face the winless Detroit Lions (0-7). Kickoff from Ford Field Below, we look at the Eagles vs. Lions odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.
The Eagles have lost two straight and five of their last six games. They have allowed opponents to score over 30 points three times and over 40 twice. QB Jalen Hurts has 10 touchdown passes and 5 rushing touchdowns, and he has been intercepted 4 times.
The winless Lions are not particularly good on either side of the ball. They are 28ths in scoring at 18.3 points per game, 25th in points allowed at 28.6 per game and have turned the ball over multiple times in four of their seven games.
QB Jared Goff has still never won a game a starter with a head coach other than Sean McVay. He went winless his rookie season, the year before McVay was hired by the Los Angeles Rams, and is winless since the trade to the Lions.

Eagles at Lions odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Eagle 20, Lions 17
Money line
There isn’t any real reason to think that the Lions are suddenly going to win a game. They will at some point, however, not having their two top running backs at 100% is not ideal, especially when the Lions already struggle offensively.
The Eagles aren’t exactly a sure bet on the money line, but they have had a challenging schedule so far. They’ve beaten the supposed lesser opponents on their schedule (Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers).
I LEAN EAGLES (-190).
Against the spread
While I lean toward the Eagles winning, I think it will be close. Philly is 3-4 ATS and the Lions are 4-3 ATS.
The Lions have three one-score losses, two of them by only two points each.
It will stay within a field goal. Take the LIONS +3.5 (-110).
Over/Under
The Eagles have scored at least 30 points twice this season, but they have averaged 19.4 points in the other five games.
The Lions have not scored more than 20 in a game since Week 1.
Take UNDER 48.5 (-110).
