T.M. Selection: Texans/Lions UNDER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER).

Neither team has officially been eliminated from playoff contention. The Lions have better odds to advance, but they're coming off a poor 20-0 loss to Carolina. They're now 4-5 and tied for third in the NFC North with the Vikings. Detroit's defense has been underrated all season in my opinion and while Matt Stafford will surely have a better game, he's without top receiver Golloday for this one, so expect a heavy dose of the run from Detroit here. Houston's offense is extremely one-dimensional with DeShaun Watson under center, as the Texans average only 79 yards per game on the ground. Note that the total has gone under the number in 14 of Detroit's last 21 after getting shutout in its last outing as well. Very interesting. Look for these two lowly non-conference teams to come out flat to start and for that to be enough to push this total under once it's all said and done!

T.M. Prediction: 24-21 Houston.
