Detroit Lions 31 · Arizona Cardinals 18
Why this lean
Pick goes to Detroit Lions on the back of Detroit Lions’s margin work and Detroit Lions’s recent momentum. Third-down conversion rate is a cleaner tempo proxy than total yards.
Three things to watch
- Form gap. Detroit Lions is carrying the cleaner recent sample than Arizona Cardinals. Streaky teams can carry one more game than the standings imply.
- Net efficiency. Detroit Lions has the cleaner scoring profile; Arizona Cardinals needs the game state to get messier.
- Scoring margin. Detroit Lions at +3.1 per game vs. Arizona Cardinals at -10.3 — a 13.4-point gap on the season.
