It is a matchup of the two best defenses in the NFL \u2013 points will likely be difficult to come by. <\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63753&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Arizona is the Vegas favorite but may be in tough with Carson Palmer on the sidelines watching a surprisingly effective Drew Stanton lead what has been the nicest story in the NFL so far.<\/p>\n<h3>Lions<\/h3>\n<p>The Detroit Lions enter Sunday\u2019s clash on a nice four game win streak \u2013 off a hard fought, last-minute win at home versus the Miami Dolphins \u2013 their third come-from-behind win in three weeks. <\/p>\n<p>It is proof that Detroit is never out of a game and that this team has matured under first-year coach Jim Caldwell.<\/p>\n<p>Detroit\u2019s success is two-fold but the emergence of a stout defense has not only vaulted them to top spot in the NFC North but into the Super Bowl conversation this year. After nine games the Lions lead the league in points allowed (15.8) and yards allowed (280) per game \u2013 impressive indeed. <\/p>\n<p>The pass rush, the secondary and the physical nature of this defensive squad figures to make life miserable for Drew Stanton and company \u2013 they will do their part meaning that it will likely be up to the Lions offense to be the difference in this game.<\/p>\n<p>The Lions offense welcomed Calvin Johnson back to the lineup last Sunday after a three game absence and he made an immediate impact gaining 113 yards in the win. Along with perhaps the best second option in the game Golden Tate who has five 100+ yard receiving games on the season, Matt Stafford and company will certainly challenge Arizona\u2019s stout defense.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=66501&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Detroit could use a little more from their running game however \u2013 Reggie Bush was severely limited in Week 10 and has been just average so far this year. Joique Bell and Theo Riddick have been OK when called upon \u2013 good enough to keep the defenses honest and to allow the passing game to operate with efficiency and effectiveness.<\/p>\n<h3>Cardinals<\/h3>\n<p>The Arizona Cardinals have the best record in the league after 10 weeks \u2013 who saw that coming? But the team will be forced to play without Carson Palmer for the rest of the season \u2013 allowing backup Drew Stanton to carry the load. <\/p>\n<p>He has been good in relief this season \u2013 he has yet to throw an interception and has been able to get the ball to the numerous playmakers on the team.<\/p>\n<p>Larry Fitzgerald is back to being a weekly threat, breakout star John Brown has been sensational as of late and Michael Floyd exists on what is quietly becoming one of the best receiving corps. in the league. <\/p>\n<p>Running back Andre Ellington has also been terrific and looks like the answer to a seemingly age old question mark in the desert. Simply put, even with Stanton at the helm Arizona is one of the more well-balanced offenses in the game \u2013 a superb compliment to a defense that has defense that has emerged as one of the best units in the game.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the Cardinals defense \u2013 this unit has yet to allow more than 20 points this season \u2013 that came against Denver! They scored two defensive TDs in their Week 10 win over St. Louis. The pass rush is insane and the secondary, led by All-World cornerback Patrick Peterson and Tyron Mathieu has emerged as one of the most feared units in the game. <\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63752&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Nobody is having success against Arizona \u2013 the Lions will have their hands full Sunday.<\/p>\n<h3>NFL Week 11 Betting Trends<\/h3>\n<p>\u2022 Under is 7-1 in DET last 8 games overall.<br \/>\n\u2022 ARI are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 vs. NFC.<br \/>\n\u2022 ARI are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games overall.<br \/>\n\u2022 Under is 7-3-1 in ARI last 11 vs. NFC.<br \/>\n\u2022 Home team is 10-1 ATS in their last 11 meetings.<br \/>\n\u2022 Over is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings.<\/p>\n<p>The Cardinals are 9-1 in their last 10 home games but they have yet to face a defense the quality of the Lions so far. <\/p>\n<h3>NFL Week 11 Betting Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>: <\/p>\n<p>That Lions defense will be the difference Sunday as Detroit holds Drew Stanton and company in check and allows Calvin Johnson, Golden Tate and Matthew Stafford to create a little more magic. <\/p>\n<p><strong>4* Free Play On Detroit Lions +2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To beat the Lions right now, teams have to be at their absolute best \u2013 unfortunately with Stanton at the helm Arizona won\u2019t quite be at their best Sunday.<\/p>\n<h3>Check out our <a title=\"NFL Week 11 Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/nfl.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated NFL Week 11 Odds<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63706&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lions vs Cardinals Free Pick NFL Week 11 Regular Season action sees the Detroit Lions taking on the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday November 16 at University of Phoenix Stadium.
