The Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions are traveling in opposite directions.
The Eagles had reached the .500 mark when they beat the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9, but they have dropped two home games in a row to the Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Bucs, and they have fallen to 4-6.
The Eagles were significant favorites in both games and had a sizable lead against Miami, but they fell apart against both teams.
Now they go to Detroit on Thanksgiving Day against the Lions. While Detroit was awful in the first half of the season, it has beaten the Green Bay Packers and Oakland Raiders in back-to-back weeks and is playing respectable football for the first time this season.
