Week 15 of the nfl will see the Detroit Lions visiting Oakland to play the Oakland Raiders. As both squads are competing for a playoff spot, this is turning out to be a crossroads game. The Detroit Lions are 8-5 and looking for a wild card placement as the unbeaten Packers have already won the division. The Oakland Raiders at 7-6 are just a game behind the Broncos in their division and cannot afford to lose any more competitions this year. The loser of this game won’t be removed from the playoffs, yet they will be regarded as a longshot as their chances will become statistical.

Detroit is a challenging squad to assess. They have come vs the greater squads in the league though they have had five losses. Three competitions back the Detroit Lions lost, but were not humiliated by the champ Packers. 2 competitions back they put up a credible effort vs the Saints, another powerful squad. Nevertheless, in their last game they struggled to eliminate the Vikings, a squad that has merely mustered two victories this year.
NFL odds
The Oakland Raiders have lost two straight competitions. 2 competitions back they lost to the Dolphins; a game they should have won if they are truly a playoff competitor. They lost to the Packers in their last game. The Oakland Raiders didn’t put up much of a fight, despite the fact that no one has defeated the Packers this year. Green Bay won effortlessly. Considering both the Raider’s and the Lion’s effort vs Green Bay, it’s clear that the Detroit Lions are a greater squad.
Despite the fact that the Detroit Lions will be gaining their defensive tackle, Ndamukong Suh, back from a suspension that lasted two competitions, at the time of this writing there have been no crucial personal adjustments. The opening line was Oakland Raiders -1. Presently the sports book has the Detroit Lions at -1. Essentially the gambling crowd is saying it’s a coin flip, however the Detroit Lions seem to be a powerful wager in Week 15.
