This matchup was dubbed a victory by prognosticators before the season started, but with the Eagles banged up and the Lions surging, Sunday now shapes up as as a must-win for both teams.
The Lions will go as Matthew Stafford goes and the veteran has gotten off to a solid start. For the Eagles, Carson Wentz proved he can put a team on his back, making some difficult throws without several of his horses.
It’s an interesting contrast in styles and with the stakes being extremely high for both teams, NFL experts from around the league have weighed in on whether the Eagles will have enough to beat the Lions.
ESPN — The consensus among their experts has the Eagles defeating the Detroit Lions at home.
