The Lions just may be the best team in the NFC right now, but they are in uncharted point spread territory here. They've never been this high of a favorite in the Dan Campbell era.

Detroit is laying these big points, too, in a division sandwich spot. The Lions went all out - physically and emotionally - to nip the Vikings on a field goal with 15 seconds left this past Sunday. The Lions meet the Packers in Green Bay the following week.

In between the lowly Titans come calling. Can't blame the Lions for looking past Tennessee.

That could prove embarrassing, though, for Detroit.

The Titans give up the fewest yards per play. They also rank No. 3 in pass defense.

Reckless second-year QB Will Levis has sunk the Titans with his boneheaded turnovers.

Veteran Mason Rudolph, though, is expected to make his second straight start as Levis nurses a sore shoulder. Rudolph is mediocre at best, but he knows how to take care of the ball. He has a reliable running back, Tony Pollard, an improving offensive line and decent receivers even with DeAndre Hopkins getting traded.

The Titans have lost by one score in three of their five defeats. They can keep this one close given the circumstances and Detroit missing star defensive lineman Aidan Hutchinson and suspended explosive, big-play wideout Jameson Williams.
