The road team is always at a disadvantage which is usually calculated to be about 3 to 4 points, but for a game being played 3 full days earlier than is the normal interval between games where the turnaround is so much shorter the home field advantage has to certainly represent even more than the normal margin ? And on top of that the Texans played a game that was about 25 % longer in duration than the Lions did Sunday, so another advantage for Detroit.
On the positive side, this is another interconference game so not as important in determining tiebreakers come the playoffs as conference games are. But any way you cut it, this game ain't gonna be easy.
