Detroit Lions vs Los Angeles Rams Preview

For the first time in its 21 year history, Ford Field will be hosting a Detroit Lions NFL playoff game (it was the venue for Super Bowl XL in February 2006).

It’s fair to say this is going to be the most raucous atmosphere of all six venues this weekend as the Lions are at home in the postseason for the first time since January 1992, which was also the last time they won a postseason contest.

Since then they have played in eight road playoff games and failed to break through, and they will have their work cut out for them here.

If all of those stats were not enough to make for a big occasion, leading the LA Rams into this game is former Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, who spent 12 seasons in the Motor City and played in three of those playoff defeats.

As for how this one is going to unfold, this is definitely the game to hammer the overs with both teams stacked on the offensive side of the ball and scoring 30 might not be enough to win this game.

LA has their trio of weapons for Stafford, with receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nakua plus running back Kyren Williams all enjoying strong seasons and if the Rams are moving the ball, it will be with it in their hands.

The same applies for Detroit with the dynamic running back duo of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs, plus star receiver Amon-Ra St Brown who are more than capable of making up for the loss of rookie tight end Sam LaPorta.

Finding a winner in this game is tough, because there is a case for both sides and after three decades of bad luck, the Lions have to be due.

However one big factor looms in favour of the Rams, Sean McVay spent years coaching Goff and knows how to make him unravel which might not mean much early, but as the game goes on it increases the likelihood of a back breaking mistake.
