Detroit Lions vs Atlanta Falcons

A few months ago we thought this would be a fairly good game but now it looks like a blowout. The biggest question here isn’t how many sacks the Lions front seven will get or whether Reggie Bush will play. No, the biggest question is if anyone will wake up early enough to see this thing.

Whoever thought 9:30am on the east coast (and 6:30am on the west) was a good time to kickoff must have been hallucinating.

The Lions have to keep winning by the way as the Packers have clawed back into the division race. A loss here and Green Bay will regain hold of the division and potentially never let it go again.
