The Tennessee Titans (1-5) will visit the Detroit Lions (5-1) at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan on Sunday afternoon.
Opening the week, the Titans were listed as 11.5-point road underdogs and that’s exactly where the spread remains as of this writing.
Let’s take a look at who some of the experts and insiders around the league are taking in the Week 8 matchup:
| Expert | Pick | Score (if applicable) |
| Dan Graziano (ESPN) | Lions | N/A |
| Matt Bowen (ESPN) | Lions | N/A |
| Seth Wickersham (ESPN) | Lions | N/A |
| Pete Prisco (CBS) | Lions | 33-17 |
| John Breech (CBS) | Lions | 31-17 |
| Jordan Dajani (CBS) | Lions | 35-17 |
| Nate Davis (USA TODAY) | Lions | 31-21 |
| Lorenzo Reyes (USA TODAY) | Lions | 41-14 |
| Bill Bender (Sporting News) | Lions | 31-17 |
| Vinnie Iyer (Sporting News) | Lions | 28-17 |
For the third consecutive week, the above panel unanimously picks against the Titans. That’s not at all interesting given their futility this season and recent firesale, but the score predictions did reveal an unusual pattern. Five of the seven who offered up a final score have Tennessee hitting 17 on the nose.
We’ll call that a quirk.
That trend carried over to other experts and analysts from around the league with 98 percent predicting a Lions victory, according to NFL Pickwatch.
Fans, on the other hand, give Tennessee absolutely no shot to win. Zero — literally zero — are predicting a Titans upset.
