Jacksonville Jaguars at Detroit Lions: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 13 matchup
Oddsmakers are calling this one of the closest games on the Week 13 schedule as Trevor Lawrence's Jacksonville Jaguars (4-7) travel to Detroit to face Jared Goff's Lions (4-7).
The Lions are slight favorites after taking the Buffalo Bills to the wire in Week 12, but Lawrence and the Jaguars knocked off the Baltimore Ravens thanks to a last-minute drive that made the second-year quarterback look like a No. 1 pick. Can the Jaguars keep their momentum going on the road, or will the Lions pick up the win? The game is expected to kick off Sunday at 1 p.m. ET from Ford Field.

Lorenzo Reyes: Lions 25, Jaguars 23
The Jaguars pulled off a huge upset but they’ve also shown flashes of brilliant play. Their problem has been consistency. Much of the same can be said about Detroit, but the Lions have steadily improved and have covered their last four. Dan Campbell’s brand of physicality, I think, will carry them — as long as they can force some pressure on Lawrence.
Safid Deen: Lions 31, Jaguars 27
It’s hard to pick against Jaguars starter Lawrence, who had three touchdowns and no interceptions against the Ravens last week. But that was just one game. The Lions are playing better overall and can beat Jacksonville at home to win their fourth in five games.
Lance Pugmire: Jaguars 35, Lions 34
This game – with its 51.5 total – has shootout written all over it. Lawrence’s rally to defeat Baltimore by a two-point conversion last week is the momentum jolt Jacksonville needs to answer its 1-4 road start.
