Dolphins vs. Lions predictions, picks and odds
Match-up prediction: Detroit has one of the most talented offenses in the NFL. The trio of Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta will probably be able to do just about whatever they want in this game, and Miami doesn't have the offensive firepower to keep up.
Final score prediction: Lions 31, Dolphins 17
