NFL Playoffs Expert Picks: Lions vs. Rams score predictions

NFL Playoffs Expert Picks: Lions vs. Rams score predictions

Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams Sunday night's showdown in the most anticipated Wild Card game of the weekend. Even putting aside all the Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford stories, these numbers are one of the most interesting matchups the NFL has to offer. They are two of the best and most famous offenses in the league, and two of the most respected coaches in the game.

Most people — including Lions fans — are expecting a very close game at Ford Field. Vegas' line for this game hovered around Lions -3 most of the week. This means you better mentally prepare for a tough game that could come down to the last possession. Cover nearby walls as needed.

Anyway, how does our staff feel about the Lions' first home playoff game in 30 years? Well, I think the best word for it is “confidence.” While most of us expect a slim margin for the match, we're all rooting for the home team here.

Check out our official Lions vs. Rams:

Brandon Knapp (15-2): 38-24 black
Ryan Matthews (13-4): 24-17 black
Alex Renault (13-4):Black wins
