QB Josh Allen and the Bills beat the Cleveland Browns at Ford Field 31-23 last week, covering the spread as 7.5-point favorites. The game was moved to Detroit due to a snowstorm in Western New York.'Allen threw for 197 yards with a TD in the victory.
The Lions, who were 3-point underdogs, went on the road and beat the New York Giants 31-18 in Week 11. Detroit was able to hold New York RB Saquon Barkley to 22 rushing yards on 15 carries.
If the Lions want to win this matchup, they’ll need to stop the 6-foot-5, 240-pound Allen from running and throwing all over them. It will be a challenging task for Detroit, which is 37-43-2 on Thanksgiving.
