The Detroit Lions got their first win of the season in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings, and have avoided the disastrous outcome of what would've been the second time in franchise history that they would have finished with a winless record.

They'll take that momentum into Week 14 when they face the Denver Broncos, who fell to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football.

The Lions are still mathematically alive in the playoff picture, but the odds are insurmountable. The Broncos are still in the hunt in the AFC at 6-6, but this game is an almost "must win" scenario.

Here are the odds via WynnBET for this interconference showdown.

Lions vs. Broncos Prediction and Pick

Neither team is great offensively. The Broncos rank 17th in yards per play at 5.5, and the Lions rank 28th at 5.0. Meanwhile, the Broncos defense has been a solid unit this season, ranking 16th in opponent yards per play. The Lions defense is still near the bottom of the NFL, but they've approved in recent weeks, allowing teams to get only an average of 5.6 yards per play.

Both teams also rank in the bottom 10 in points per game, neither of them are averaging north of 20.
