Any given Sunday, but I could see the Lions punting another week before assessing the trade deadline because of this game.

I think you hit trades in a week like this. Get them snaps in a game that you are favored in. Versus a game that is in GB the week after

At least the Lions will get to take a look at potential trade candidate Harold Landry in-person.

The seems like a good game to go up big early and then give reps to some depth players like Hendon Hooker, Ennis Rakestraw Brandon Joseph ect.  With our early bye week, the Lions playing three games in 11 days in weeks 11-13, the Lions should take the opportunity to rest players when it makes sense.  They play on Thursday the week after Thanksgiving so their extended rest opportunity won't happen until after their Week 14 game with the Packers.

Lions open at 11.5 pt favorites at home. 

That is a huge spread for an NFL game.  Honestly I would take the Titans plus 11.5 just based on the odds. In my head I feel like we will beat them by more than that but you never know in the NFL.  If someone gets hot or gets cold for us, a lot can happen.  But given the Bears and Packers have beat them, we just need to get the W. 

I hope its a blow out so we can showcase Hooker in case someone like Oakland or Cleveland wants him in a deal for a stud DE.  Also would be nice to get Rakestraw, Wingo, Broderic Martin if healthy, Wingo, Manu, Sorsdal, Mahogany, Vaki and some of the young WRs some game reps.

Per twitter, Jamo facing two game suspension for violating PED policy. I just can’t even imagine what he was thinking. I hope it’s just a bad test. 

ESPN reports that receiver Jameson Williams is facing a two-game suspension for violating the NFL’s PED policy. It’s unclear whether the suspension is final. When it is, the NFL announces it.

Williams was suspended six games last year under the NFL’s gambling policy.

2 games is very weird for PEDs. Schefter now reporting PES. Wonder if it’s another Jimmy G situation.

Pretty much this

 

Jamo isn't one to read the fine text.. He probably didn't pay attention to an ingredient

He better learn to read the fine print. And the rule book. While two games is not a lot, it’s now his second suspension because he’s not paying attention. It’s also another season he’s going to miss time. He’s a young guy and I don’t want to jump on him, but he needs to do better.
