New England Patriots vs Detroit Lions Betting Tips – Lions To Win NFL Munich Matchup
The Detroit Lions are tipped to cover the spread against the New England Patriots in their Munich matchup. Detroit enter on a four-game win streak and have notably improved their defence, which could force Patriots quarterback Drake Maye into costly errors, especially given his struggles against NFC opposition. Offensively, Jared Goff and his array of weapons are expected to challenge the Patriots' secondary. While New England lead the all-time series 8-5 and won the last meeting 29-0, current form and defensive improvements make Detroit the selection.

- New England Patriots are 0-3 against NFC teams this season

New England Patriots Blown Out Last Weekend
New England make the long trip to journey on the back of a blowout home defeat that dropped them to 5-4.
The Patriots lost the Super Bowl rematch with Seattle on opening night, 13-10, and then failed to follow up a 20-3 win over Pittsburgh as they lost 35-6 in Jacksonville.
They responded strongly to that loss though, backing up a 29-26 win in Buffalo with home successes against Las Vegas, 45-17, and the New York Jets, 26-19.
New England failed to make it four-in-a-row as they lost 30-24 in Chicago, but rebounded on the road to beat Miami 24-19.
The Patriots were unable to build on that though, as they suffered a 45-27 loss to Green Bay last weekend.
Detroit Lions On Four-Game Win Streak
Detroit go into this matchup having won four consecutive games to improve their record to 6-2.
The Lions were inconsistent through the first four weeks as they failed to back up a 31-30 overtime win against New Orleans, losing 41-31 in Buffalo.
They were then unable to follow up a 31-24 victory over the New York Jets as they fell to a 32-26 defeat in Carolina.
Detroit responded to that second loss with a 45-21 win in Arizona, and this time they have been able to build on a victory.
The Lions downed division rivals Green Bay and Minnesota at home, 20-17 and 19-15 respectively, before heading to Miami to beat the Dolphins, 19-9.
Verdict
Drake Maye has played some good football this year, but he has also thrown a bunch of interceptions that have cost his team, especially against opposition from the NFC.
Detroit, on the other hand, have found some form in recent weeks and have improved on defense after a slow start, so we are backing the Lions to leave Germany with the ‘dub’.
