Bills vs Lions Prediction Week 12

Early NFL predictions and picks are from ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI).
Bills: 83.9% to win
Lions: 15.9% to win

The Lions have ripped off back-to-back wins heading into Week 11, while the Bills have lost back-to-back games as favorites. None of that matters, though. Detroit ranks 24th in pass defense DVOA rating and ranks 27th in run defense DVOA rating. Meanwhile, Buffalo boasts the fifth-best total offense DVOA rating. Wide receiver Stefon Diggs and running back Devin Singletary should tear this defense apart. Take the Bills -10.
