Bengals 24
Lions 23

This is a close matchup. It's another day where the Bengals need to run the ball. The Detroit dline loves to rush the passer, and if we get into must throw situations it could get ugly. The weakness of the Lions' defense has been vs the run. They give up 5.4 yards per carry right now, and to support those stats their linebackers all have negative PFF grades vs the run. They are solid in pass coverage though, and that combined with their pass rush could negate passes to TEs and Gio, though we absolutely must get the ball to Gio in space and give him a chance to break a couple. If we can establish BJGE inside though, they'll have to respect play action and that will help us in the passing game. Defensively, we must contain Reggie Bush and play our normal solid pass defense. Stafford is getting rid of the ball quickly, and the only question in the passing game is the health of Megatron. Even at less than 100% he's extremely dangerous and is a physical mismatch for our corners. This one could really go either way, but the homer in me just couldn't predict a loss, though one would not surprise me.

I see a high scoring game and a flat Bengals team. Second straight week on the road playing in a tough environment. After the game, people start asking what's wrong with the pass defense.

Lions are a good home team.

The teams are evenly matched. If I was in a football pool, I'd probably pick the Lions because it's in Detroit and they need the game more (trying to keep up in a tougher division)
