vs market (Earl \u2212 line)
Detroit sits 7th with a 3.587 neutral-field rating, but that number is trending the wrong way after a 0.624-point drop, and the -1.526 strength of schedule says this 3-1 start came against soft competition. The offense is scoring 27.6 per game over the last five, yet a 23.2 defensive allowance and thin 0.058 EPA differential per play mean this rating is closer to a field goal than the market's 0.4-point lean suggests, so I'm selling Detroit as a small favorite. Brian Branch being questionable is worth monitoring but only costs 0.1 points here, so it's not the story.
