Payton Wilson is the defensive player with the most tackles.

According to our prediction for the Steelers versus the Lions, the Lions are coming in as home favorites by seven points. Both teams have similar overall records this season but the Lions have been very excellent at home, while the Steelers are poor on the road. Detroit has been inconsistent as of late, as seen by the fact that it has been alternating wins and losses for the last ten games, and that it has a record of 1-4 against the spread in its most recent five games. Additionally, the squad is going up against a Pittsburgh team that has won consecutive games and has won both of its two excursions to Chicago in the past. This is a game that I anticipate the visitors to stay close, thus I will be taking the Steelers and getting the +7 points in this contest.
