The Detroit Lions will host the Oakland Raiders in NFL Week 11 action. What five bold predictions can be made for the game and what should fans be on the lookout for throughout the game?
1. Matthew Stafford Throws At Least Three Interceptions
Detroit has been unhappy with the turnover issues that Matthew Stafford has had this season, but he came through with a massive performance against the Green Bay Packers in Week 10. That will come back down to earth and he will throw at least three interceptions against Oakland. The Raiders have a solid secondary with multiple playmakers and are more than capable of putting pressure on Stafford.
2. Derek Carr and Amari Cooper Hook Up for Two Touchdowns
One of the newest dynamic duos in the NFL is in Oakland, where Derek Carr and Amari Cooper are beginning to put up big numbers. They will continue their success against Detroit's weak secondary. Carr and Cooper will hook up for at least two touchdowns throughout the game.
3. Calvin Johnson Racks Up 125+ Yards, Two TD's
While Stafford is going to struggle throughout this game, he is still going to put up numbers as well. Calvin Johnson will record at least 125 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the game. Those numbers will be able to keep Detroit in the game, although they aren't going to be enough by themselves.
4. Latavius Murray Busts Loose for 120 Yards, Two Touchdowns
Another major playmaker for the Oakland offense is budding star running back Latavius Murray. He was expected to be a big piece of the puzzle ahead of the season, but he is coming on strong and is showing flashes of superstar potential. Oakland is going to utilize him in a big way against Detroit this coming week and he will record at least 120 yards and two touchdowns.
5. Oakland Pulls Off a Big Win on the Road
Following last week's tough loss against the Minnesota Vikings, the Raiders are going to get back on track this week. Detroit may have beat the struggling Packers last week, but they are not going to get two wins in a row against better teams. Oakland will get this win and will leave town with a 5-5 record.
Overview
Don't be surprised if this game comes down to the fourth quarter. Detroit is playing with a lot of confidence and the Raiders do still have some flaws on their offense. Oakland simply has the better all-around football team and will make more winning plays down the stretch of the fourth quarter.
