You would think after observing these defenses so far this season that this one has under written all over it.  Both of these defensive units have been playing excellent (excluding that first half in London against the Falcons as far as Detroit in concerned).  Miami is coming off of a shut out against a solid Chargers offense and the Lions are looking to build off of that second half they had against the Falcons.  Megatron is expected back in this one, so we’ll see how the Phins secondary will scheme to slow him down, but Golden Tate is still the man to focus on in this Lions passing game.  The advantage for the Lions is that not only is Calvin coming back this week, but so is Reggie Bush, now giving the Lions an extremely legit three-headed running monster.

If the Lions can keep the Miami defense busy with their passing attack, they should be able to exploit the Dolphins on the ground.  What Miami will continue to struggle at is moving the chains on the ground against this fierce Lions run defense.  I don’t see Tannehill doing too much damage in the air, so I believe the Lions will take care of this one at home.
