One of our favorite angles during the NFL preseason is fading teams the public is fawning over due to a surprising effort the previous season or from the positive ink they received during the offseason. Detroit checks both boxes.
The handicap here happens from a 31-18 loss the Giants suffered last season when they fell to the Lions as 3-point home chalk in a game in which Big Blue outgained the Motor City crew 413-345 yards as a negative 3-0 turnover margin proved to be the culprit.
To top it off, the G-men stand 12-7-1 ATS away in preseason openers. You know what to do.
