The Raiders offense is poised for a big showing this Sunday. I’m a firm believer in numbers and sample sizes. It’s not exactly a secret that the Raiders defense is nothing to write home about, but the Lions actually have a worse defense. This season the Detroit Lions defense:
Ranks No. 31 in overall defense;
Has the No. 26 against the run; and
Sits all the way at No. 32 when defending the pass.
Diving deeper into the numbers, the Lions are giving up a dismal 130 rushing yards per game.
