02 / THE GAME STORY

Munich removes Detroit’s home advantage

The Lions have won their last two games with 19 points each time, allowing 15 and nine. That controlled sequence differs sharply from the 72-point game New England just played. The matchup asks whether Goff can keep Detroit’s possessions efficient while its defence makes Maye earn longer drives, or whether New England can pull the game into a higher-scoring exchange.

The neutral venue is a material input, not a travel anecdote: Detroit’s home-field term is set to zero under the existing model rule. The resulting spread edge is below the recommendation threshold. The total also remains short of a formal Over, and neither team’s missing first practice report is evidence of a healthy lineup. This is an analysis-only game at the saved prices.
