Lions at Giants live stream: How to watch online
By mdelaney
Two 9-4 teams square off in a mutual must-win game as the Detroit Lions head to the Big Apple to face the New York Giants. Here’s where to watch the game online.
Following scrappy wins in Week 14, the Detroit Lions and New York Giants are set to meet in a big late-season showdown in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The game kicks off at 1 p.m. this Sunday and will be regionally broadcast throughout the East Coast on FOX.
Despite keeping their playoff hopes alive with gutty victories the week before, neither one of these teams are coming into Sunday’s match-up hot. The Lions have won eight of their last nine on the back of quarterback Matthew Stafford’s heroics, though Stafford suffered some ligament damage in the middle finger of his throwing hand in the win over the Chicago Bears. The Giants, on the other hand, have had their offensive inconsistencies concealed by an easy schedule and a defense that’s gotten hot at the right time.
Safe to say that this will be battle to the bitter end that could determine a lot in the NFC’s playoff picture. A win for the Lions would put them in nearly indisputable position to win the NFC North for the first time in years, while a win for the Giants would all but cement a playoff birth. On the flip side, a loss for either team puts them in danger of losing out. The Lions visit Dallas before hosting a red-hot Green Bay team Week 17, and the Giants begin a tough two-game divisional road trip against the Eagles and Redskins following the Lions game.

According to OddsShark, the Giants are opening as 4.5-point favorites over the Lions. Obviously Las Vegas believes that Stafford’s bum finger will be the curtain call on Detroit’s fourth quarter magic that’s carried the team’s winning season thus far. Of course, that also means they’re betting on Giants quarterback Eli Manning not imploding, at least not as emphatically as Stafford.
