Rams vs Lions | Prediction & Pick

NFL Free Pick – Sunday, October 10, 2010

vs.

St. Louis Rams at Detroit Lions 1:00 PM FOX – If the season ended today the Rams would finish better than they did last year, but they won’t miss this opportunity to notch their third straight win for the first time in four years. Odds makers are predicting the Lions will get their first win of the season. I disagree. The Lions are 28th in the league in scoring defense. The Rams are 4th. Plus, the Lions still do not have Matthew Stafford back yet. I expect Rams’ QB Sam Bradford to have a field day with this defense. While both teams have showed improvement, Detroit has committed eight turnovers while committing a league-worst 30 penalties over the past three weeks. Those types of mistakes against a Rams team that has forced 10 turnovers could be their demise. If the Rams return RB Stephen Jackson, this one could be over by the half.

The odds makers have the Detroit as a -3 point favorite with an over/under of 42.5.
