T.M. Selection: Detroit Lions.

I like the Detroit Lions to cover the spread against the Atlanta Falcons in this game on Sunday. The Lions have been having a very rough season this year being the only winless team through 10 games but now they have 2 wins under their belt and they have looked a lot better in their games lately than at the beginning of the year. The Lions have started to pick up some steam lately with their 2 wins on the year coming in their previous 3 games. Their most recent game was a big win against the Cardinals 30-12 and they looked really good in that game. I think that the Lions can continue that play into this game and they have been bringing the same heart and passion into every game this year already so this team has the fire inside them to win a bunch of games and end their year on a good note. The Falcons are not a good team and they haven't been having a great year either. The Falcons have actually lost 2 of their previous 3 games including their most recent game where they were slaughtered by the 49ers 31-13. The Falcons have lost a few players throughout the year and they know that their playoff hopes have been shot already. The Falcons are just trying to limp to the finish line in these last 3 games but the Lions are the complete opposite. After that terrible start, the Lions are finally looking like a competitive team and I think that their players and their coaches want to win out their year so they have some good building blocks to build on come next year. The Lions have been heating up lately and they have the momentum on their side here. I like the Lions to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 23-14 Lions.
