Wrong Team Favored?

[CaptainStubing]

I am doing my pick 'em league this morning and was looking at the Lions @ Dolphins match-up on Sunday.

I noticed that the Lions are actually favored in this game by 2 points. I guess I'm trying to figure out why ....

The game is in Miami, where the Phins are 3-0 this year. They have played well at home, beating the Titans and Bears there, 2 teams that are decent. The only 2 teams the Phins have lost to this season are the Pats and Bengals, 2 of the better teams in the league, and both games were on the road.

The Lions have played better since their week 1 debacle but haven't won on the road yet this season.

I know Tannehill might not play, but Tannehill wasn't playing real great before he got injured so is Osweiler really that much of a step down?

What am I missing? I think the Phins should be the favorite in this one.

The odds for two straight solid efforts from Osweiler must be astronomically bad. If Tannehill is good to go, Miami would likely be favored by game time.

Osweiler is terrible. The Lions aren't good; hence only being given 2 points on the road.

Osweiler sucks....How I lost $ on the Bears last week left me fuckin speechless.....

If they had Miami favored, too much money would be flowing towards the Phins. Gotta get some 'tards to put money on Detroit

God bless your soul if you are betting on this game with actual money.

Tannehill is officially out for Sunday but if they can get a repeat performance from Osweiler, i still think the dolphins should win this one.

Ryan Tannehill ruled out; NFL to review report of injury

IF

Phins suck. Take a closer look at their wins and you’ll see why. @FlyerFinFan knows this. That explains his anger and jealousy issues.

I love those commercials that talk about how glamorous the casino is, and how much money you are going to win, etc., and then at the very end, and very quickly or in very small type: "Gambling problem? Call 1-800-Gambler"

When the Fins keep the run pass ratio pretty even they are in the games. The D is pretty good unless worn out. No anger here I'm pretty happy with 4-2 and they should have beaten cinci. Either way key game Sunday will be interesting.

I just made a point that NE gets a lot of breaks at home and the flag stats show this. Your butt loving buddy just can't get over that fact...

Why would the league CONTINUALLY give unfair calls to NE? How does that benefit the league?

Let’s assume they did... why wouldn’t other owners (like the Dolphins owner) make it an issue? Why would they stand for the league CONTINUALLY allowing this to happen.

If you need help answering these questions perhaps @RobToxin @SteelersPride or @handicappers could hell you.

Could you please help @FlyerFinFan explain his conspiracy theories. He’s having trouble articulating them.

We're going to order our refs to favor the Patriots during the game but we are going to suspend Tom Brady for four games for destroying his cellphone.

I do realize to most of us that is a logic fail. However, that actually does sound like Goodell Logic.
