Lions Favored by Double Digits to Host Giants in Week 12

Detroit eyes a ground-game reset against a New York run defense allowing nearly 150 rushing yards per game.

Overview

Kickoff is 1 p.m. ET on Sunday at Ford Field with TV coverage on Fox.
The spread opened near -11.5 and has moved to about Lions -10.5, with most predictions calling for a two-score Detroit win.
The matchup focus is Detroit’s rushing attack versus a Giants unit ranked near the bottom against the run after recent 6.0 yards-per-carry stretches allowed.
Lions tight end Sam LaPorta is likely out for the season after back surgery, and multiple offensive linemen have been dealing with injuries, testing Detroit’s protection and run blocking.
Rookie Jaxson Dart is out and Jameis Winston will start for New York, which leans on pass-rush threats Brian Burns (13 sacks) and Abdul Carter to pressure Jared Goff.
