Dolphins at Lions

Sunday, 1 p.m.

Line: Lions -2.5

The Lions and Dolphins have the two best defenses in the NFL right now, according to Football Outsiders. They rank first and third in the NFL in yards per game (with the 49ers in between) and points per game (the Chiefs are in between; Lions lead all categories). Both offenses are coming around: Calvin Johnson is back at practice for the Lions, while Ryan Tannehill is a respectable 6-of-15 for 198 yards on deep passes in his last three games. (He was 7-of-26 with three interceptions in his first five games, but if I claimed he was 0-of-6 with five picks you would probably have believed it.)

Great defenses, improving offenses, guys getting healthy and improving upon their weaknesses�why aren't we taking these teams more seriously? Why isn't this game higher on the preview list? Why not speculate that this is a Lions-Dolphins Super Bowl preview? Oh yeah, they are the Lions and Dolphins, and they are almost guaranteed to be torn apart by mismanagement, coaching blunders or internal strife over the next month.

Those searching for Achilles heels should note that the Dolphins rank 31st in the NFL in special teams, the Lions 32nd, according to Football Outsiders. The Lions perfected the art of missing a last-second field goal, but won two weeks ago. Still, that sort of thing only works in Europe, against Mike Smith. Look for this game to hinge on a blocked kick, missed chip shot or long return that will provide evidence that one of these teams has finally changed its ways while the other spirals uncontrollably back to normal.

Prediction: Lions 21, Dolphins 17

Joseph Fauria and Eric Ebron are out. I hope the Lions win today.

I saw somewhere that the Bills and Chiefs have played each other seven seasons in a row, and this is the first time that both teams have a winning record going into the matchup. :toot:

The Bills have one winning record in the 2000's, I know who isn't holding their end of that bargain up.

Every single one of those games has sucked as a Chiefs fan too. Buffalo is a pain in the rear end.

Chiefs - Bills are two decent teams fighting for a wildcard and 49ers - Saints would be good if the 49ers intended to man up and not watch Harbaugh quit.

I tried to play the original, and couldn't really get into it. Is the remake better? Any real differences?

JT Jag: Aug 30, 2009; #1 Jaguars Sunk Cost Fallacy-Haver

So I think the Jaguars actually match up well with the Cowboys in a lot of ways. I'm just concerned that if Romo plays well, the talent level of the Cowboys will outmatch the Jaguars. So Romo not being 100% is the only chance the Jags have I think.

It isn't for everyone but part of it is getting used to the controls and digging deeper into the game and unlocking more stuff. Gets harder as you do more, tons of fun in my opinion. I don't play many games anymore, but Binding of Isaac is my bag, baby.
