## Overview

The Detroit Lions enter Week 10 at 6-2, winners of four straight after a 19-9 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 9. Before that, Detroit beat the Minnesota Vikings 19-15, topped the Green Bay Packers 20-17, blew out the Arizona Cardinals 45-21, and dropped a 26-32 decision to the Carolina Panthers. The Lions have scored 222 points while allowing just 189 this season.

The New England Patriots arrive at 5-4 on a one-game losing streak, having fallen 27-45 to the Green Bay Packers in Week 9. Before that loss, New England beat the Miami Dolphins 24-19, lost to the Chicago Bears 24-30, beat the New York Jets 26-19, and routed the Las Vegas Raiders 45-17. The Patriots have scored 211 points and allowed 207.

Detroit holds the edge here. The Lions are favored by 2.5 points and carry a four-game winning streak into this one, while New England is trying to shake off its first loss in a while. With Jahmyr Gibbs leading the NFL in scrimmage yards and touchdowns, Detroit's offense gives it the clearer path to a fifth straight win.

## Key players

Jahmyr Gibbs needs just one touchdown against the New England Patriots to tie Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Davis's total of 61 touchdowns for the most by a player in his first four NFL seasons, and he already leads the league with 1,132 scrimmage yards and is tied for first with 11 touchdowns this year.

[Amon-Ra St. Brown](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/amon-ra-st-brown) was limited in practice this week, but he leads the NFL with 608 receptions and caught 8 passes for 86 yards in Week 9, his 69th career game with five or more receptions, the most by any player in his first six NFL seasons.

[Jared Goff](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/jared-goff) has thrown a touchdown pass in 29 of his past 30 games and has 41,756 career passing yards, third-most by a player through his first 11 NFL seasons.

[Jameson Williams](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/jameson-williams) has a touchdown catch in three of his past four games heading into Sunday's matchup.

[Jake Bates](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/jake-bates) projects for 9.5 DraftKings points as Detroit's kicker in Munich.

## Keys to the game

Detroit has to keep leaning on Jahmyr Gibbs near the goal line — he's scored a touchdown in eight of his past nine games and the Lions need that same closing power against New England.

The Lions defense has to slow down [Drake Maye](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/drake-maye), who has thrown multiple touchdown passes in six straight games and is chasing a seventh; limiting those red-zone conversions is non-negotiable.

Detroit's secondary is thin with [D.J. Reed](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/d-j-reed) and [Kerby Joseph](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/kerby-joseph) out, so [Brian Branch](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/brian-branch) and the rest of the back end need to hold up — Branch has broken up a pass in four of his past five home games.

Jahmyr Gibbs is an obvious must-start at 21.5 projected DraftKings points — he's the focal point of this offense everywhere on the field, especially near the goal line.

Amon-Ra St. Brown stays in lineups at 17.0 points despite being limited in practice; he's caught six or more passes in nine of his past ten games.

Jared Goff is a solid streaming option at 16.0 points given his touchdown streak and home production this season.

Jameson Williams is a flex-worthy play at 12.5 points with a touchdown catch in three of his past four games.

Jake Bates is a streaming-only kicker at 9.5 points — don't reach for him outside of deep-roster formats.

## Prediction

The market lists Detroit as a 2.5-point favorite with a total of 49.5, and the market score sits at Lions 26, Patriots 24. That lines up with a Lions team that controls the game through Jahmyr Gibbs and a defense good enough to hang on late, even if New England's passing attack keeps it within one score.
