1. The home team gets 3 points to start with. Plus, this is just bookmakers assuring that
they win.
2. Who gives a rat's rear end about the spread, anyway. It's another example of the general public of the USA not believing in the Skins. That's nothing new. Half of the people in the country didn't think we were any good when we were winning Super Bowls under Joe Gibbs.
3. From what I read, the Lions are supposed to beat us with their passing game. Well, that just plays into our strength as a defense. I hope they try to throw the ball all over the place because they will lose if they do.
4. Our team is getting better in all phases on a week-to-week basis but the general public has a tendency to favor a team with a "star" QB over a well-balanced team. Nevertheless, well-balanced teams win. Also, Stafford is not the star he is thought to be by many NFL fans.
4. Our team is ascending because they are focused on getting better and they play hard every week. We may get beat sometimes, but we won't get outworked and we won't quit. Detroit just isn't the kind of team that will take us down.
5. This is the week we win handily on the road and wake up the non-believers. We''ll double their score: Skins 34, Detroit 17.
