Detroit Lions Open as 13.5-Point Underdogs against Arizona Cardinals

The Detroit Lions will be significant home underdogs when they play the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday at Ford Field.
In this story:

The Detroit Lions (1-11-1) will attempt to regroup this week, after a disappointing 38-10 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 14.

The Lions have opened as 13.5-point home underdogs against the Arizona Cardinals, according to SI Sportsbook.

The Cardinals will be coming to town, following a heavily anticipated matchup against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football. 

Back in September of 2020, Matthew Stafford threw two touchdown passes, and Matt Prater nailed a 39-yard field goal as time expired to secure a 26-23 victory for Detroit against Arizona. 

For Lions quarterback Jared Goff, the final month of the season can still provide the organization a lot of information regarding the roster moving forward. 

“Yeah, I think you can learn a lot about guys -- you learn a lot about who you want in your corner and who you want in your foxhole," Goff said after Sunday's loss to the Broncos. "Like I said, I don’t think we’ll find anyone in this locker room that isn’t that way. But, I’ve been on teams before where you find out a lot about guys in certain situations of adversity. In situations where it’s easier to not play, it’s easier to miss a game and it’s easier to say you don’t want to play in a game because you got something going on. So, you find out a lot about guys.”
