NFL Week 13 expert picks: Lions vs. Jaguars score predictions
Dec 4, 2022 - 3:30 PMThe Detroit Lions are coming off a wildly successful November that not many saw coming. After entering the month with a 1-6 record and having just fired one of their positional coaches, the Lions now somehow find themselves amidst playoff talk with a 4-7 record and a healthy roster, to boot. Sure, we’re talking probabilities edging close to single digits, but the future—both immediate and distant—seems bright.
That can be said for the Lions’ Week 13 opponent, though, too. The Jacksonville Jaguars share Detroit’s 4-7 and sense of optimism. Second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence is at the top of his professional game, and the toxic culture left from Urban Meyer has been completely eradicated by respected head coach Doug Pederson.
Sunday’s matchup between the two oddly optimistic teams figures to be a good one, which is why the betting line has shifted from Lions -1 to Jaguars -1 back to Lions -1 all week.
