For the second straight week, the Detroit Lions are road favorites against a well-respected team. Last week, the Lions disposed of the then-6-2 Green Bay Packers in Lambeau. Now, they’ll face the head of the AFC South in the 6-3 Houston Texans. Not only is this game being played in Houston, but the Texans are wearing their new “Battle Red” uniforms on a primetime bout on “Sunday Night Football.”
Detroit is currently on a six-game winning streak, but it’s not going to be easy to move that to seven this week. The Texans are a solid football team, and they’re undefeated (4-0) on their home turf this season.
