History
The Eagles and Lions have an even regular season record versus each other in the regular season at 15-15-2. However, they did face each other once in the postseason, with the Eagles winning 58-37 in 1995.
The Eagles have lost the last two versus the Lions, with their last win coming in 2013.
Predictions
I predicted the Eagles to win big time last week, 41-23. Obviously, I was wrong.
But this week I will NOT be wrong!
The Eagles, despite being without DeSean Jackson, will bounce back with authority. They will stomp the Lions 34-13.
