Preview
Detroit Lions are our pick on the road against the Miami Dolphins in Week 9. The model gives them a 68% chance of winning, which makes this game a 65%+ top pick.
Detroit Lions have the higher team rating (1585 to 1364), built from results and winning margins.
Quarterbacks: we expect Jared Goff to start for Detroit Lions (167 career starts); we expect Malik Willis to start for Miami Dolphins (13 career starts). We assume each team's most recent starter plays unless the injury report says otherwise.
Season so far: Detroit Lions are 5–2 and Miami Dolphins are 1–6.
What could change the pick: late quarterback news. We re-check every 30 minutes until kick-off, then the pick is frozen and stays on our public record, win or lose.
This is one of our top picks: Detroit Lions at 68% to win.
