The decider

Lions' offense meets a Dolphins defense that has been average; the edge in that matchup belongs to Lions. Lions score 29.0 a game and Dolphins allow 25.9.

Situational

Lions are missing Avonte Maddox (CB), Roger McCreary (CB, questionable); Dolphins are missing De'Von Achane (RB) — worth a notch of caution.
