The Jets host the Lions this week in a meeting between two teams moving in opposite directions.
New York is 2–4 over its last six games after a 5–2 start and Detroit has gone 5–1 since beginning the season 1–6. Both teams are just out of the top seven teams in their respective conferences and whichever wins in Week 15 would take a big step toward ending a lengthy playoff drought.
The Lions picked up perhaps their biggest win of the season last week against the Vikings in a game that drew a lot of attention because of its seemingly backwards spread.
