3-2-1
record (2026)
-1.6
vs market (Earl \u2212 line)
Detroit's rating slipped 1.2 points this week to 1.236, and that soft -2.03 strength of schedule is doing a lot of the lifting for a 3-2 team whose last-five point differential is just 3.0 per game. The market is already ahead of the number at -1.65 versus my rating, so this is a sell-high spot, not a buy. Brian Branch being questionable is the one absence worth monitoring, and the 0.3-point dock already baked in keeps me from treating this rating as a bargain.
