Detroit Lions vs Houston Texans NFL Predictions: The Lions (0-5) played a good game last week but they ended up losing to Minnesota 12-10. The Lions haven't won a game since last December, and weren't even competitive in four previous losses in a season that has already seen the dismissal of team president Matt Millen. QB Dan Orlovsky was 12/21 for 150 yards and 1TD. Calvin Johnson caught 4 passes for 85 yards and 1 TD. The sports odds posted by the oddsmakers at Sbgglobal.com currently list Houston Texans -9.5 favorites to Detroit Lions heading into this matchup.
The Texans (1-4) got their first win of the season at home last week with a 29-28 win over Miami. Andre Johnson had a big game with 10 receptions for 178 yards and 1 TD. The Texans are pumped following a last-second victory versus the Dolphins, while the Lions are off consecutive division games against Chicago and Minnesota.
The Texans reached Miami territory on their first four drives, but a pair of Matt Schaub interceptions, a sack leading to a punt and a field goal were all they had to show for it. They must do better in the red zone. The online sports betting odds at Sbgglobal.com has the OVER/UNDER in this Detroit Lions vs Houston Texans game is set at 47 points.
"I think everybody's demeanor picks up," Texans linebacker DeMeco Ryans said. "We're feeling very confident now that we can get used to winning. You have to get that feeling of getting used to winning in the locker room and just let it carry on week to week."
NFL Predictions: Houston lost its only previous meeting with Detroit 28-16 on the road on Sept. 19, 2004. This is the Lions last chance to earn a victory, will it finally happen? They should definitely play Stanton because its obvious to me and everyone else (except the Lions coaching staff) that Orlovsky is not the answer at quarterback. In my opinion, the Lions should have a television deal to have their games played on the Comedy Channel. The Lions probably should have pulled the upset last week against Minnesota, now they are back on the road again. Over is 4-0 in Texans last 4 games after allowing more than 350 total yards in their previous game. Over is 4-0 in Lions last 4 games following a ATS win.
