RB D’Andre Swift to score TD (+120)
Despite just one start and missing a lot of time due to injury, Swift has scored 7 touchdowns during his rookie season. He has had the opportunity to score several more, but drops and bad offensive line play have prevented those conversions. Look for him to get into the end zone at least once Sunday as he can win on the ground and through the air.
QB Matthew Stafford UNDER 271.5 passing yards (-112)
For most of the week, it was assumed Stafford would miss this week with an injury. Late Saturday, the news broke he would be in the starting lineup for Week 15.
Still, don’t be surprised if he is somewhat limited this week and Detroit uses the run game and short passing attack to keep him out of harm’s way. That’s why he’s a good bet to go Under 271.5 passing yards despite playing the Titans’ poor pass defense.

RB D’Andre Swift OVER 73.5 total yards (-105)
Now that Swift is healthy and back into the starting lineup, he can return to his role as an every-down workhorse back. Before his head injury, Swift had back-to-back games with at least 90 total yards.
This week should be another one of those games as Tennessee’s defense has struggled to stop running backs like him all season long. Look for Swift to see 15 or so touches in this game and easily eclipse 73.5 total yards.
WR Danny Amendola OVER 37.5 receiving yards (-115)
Amendola has become an important part of the Lions’ passing attack with WR Kenny Golladay out of the lineup. In the last six games, he has totaled 331 yards on 33 targets. Any game he sees more than three targets, he is a lock to go over 40 receiving yards.
QB Matthew Stafford OVER 1.5 passing touchdowns (-112)
While we don’t love the Over on passing yards for Stafford, passing touchdowns are another thing. The Titans have allowed several quarterbacks to have their best passing days of the season and it wouldn’t be a surprise if Stafford ended up with multiple touchdowns in this game on 30-35 attempts.
