The Detroit Lions will be looking to maintain a share of first place in the NFC North with a fourth straight home victory when they welcome the rapidly sinking Jacksonville Jaguars to town on Sunday for an NFL Week 11 matchup at Ford Field.
- The total has gone OVER in eight of the Lions' last 11 games at home.
- The Lions are 2-12 SU in their last 14 games against the AFC South division.

Detroit has also held opponents to 17.6 ppg in its past three. But the Lions have struggled to generate offense, mustering just 18.3 ppg and forcing the point total UNDER in each of those outings.
The 2-7 Jaguars are coming off a fourth straight SU loss, dropping a 24-21 decision to Houston as 2.5-point home chalk, and have also lost three of four SU on the road. Jacksonville is winless SU in 10 as road underdogs of six or more points, but has covered in four of its past five.
The favored team is 5-0 SU and ATS over the past five meetings between these clubs, with the total finishing OVER in their past four. Detroit posted a 31-14 win as 6-point road chalk in their last meeting four years ago, ending a three-game SU losing streak against the Jaguars.
