  NFL(461) Arizona Cardinals at (462) Detroit Lions1:00pm EDT - Sep 10/2017
  THE PLAY: Detroit Lions -2.5 (-105)

  Two NFC foes take the 2017 opener in Detroit on Ford Field when the Lions (-2.5, 50) host the Arizona Cardinals in the Week #1 event. Detroit scuffled in the latter portion of the 2016 season. After a 9-4 start to the campaign the team lost their final three games to finish 9-7 and earn an NFC Wild Card berth. Arizona missed the postseason for the first time in three season finishing second in the NFC West with a 7-8-1 mark.

  Arizona Cardinals
  The Cardinals were a major disappointment last season. Head coach Bruce Arians and the front office didn’t believe the squad and units had personnel holes and during the offseason spoke openly about the results of the 2016 campaign being “one of those seasons.” Hence, the team was relatively quiet during the offseason concerning free agents.

  While the front office and the coaching staff were satisfied to hold serve with last year’s roster they enter the 2017 season opener against the Lions in Detroit with a number of question marks.  Given the struggles from last season and the players they lost, their 2017 results will be dictated by a 37 year-old quarterback, Carson Palmer, that waited until February after his body healed to announce he would return for another season.

   

  

  
  Detroit Lions
  Matthew Stafford led a 2016 Detroit offense to the largest number of fourth quarter comebacks in a single season. Stafford threw for more than 4,200 yards for the sixth straight season. Stafford and offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter clicked big time in 2016.

  Running back Ameer Abdullah enters the Week #1 affair healthy. He was lost for the 2016 campaign to injured reserve due to a foot injury.  Stafford will have the veteran presence of Golden Tate and Marvin Jones to throw to again this season.

  The Lions upgraded the offensive line by adding 2016 Pro Bowl guard T.J. Lang and tackle Rick Wagner who departed Baltimore after starting 47 career games for the Ravens.

  The Lions team liability a season ago was their defense. The secondary, most concerning their cover corners, surrendered 16 touchdowns and intercepted a mere three passes in 2016. Detroit also fell short in pressuring opposing quarterbacks.

  The stop-unit lost safety Rafael Bush to the New Orleans Saints as well as defensive end Devin Taylor to free agency. The team cut linebacker DeAndre Levy.

  The Lions did add defensive tackle Jordan Hill, linebackers Nick Bellore and Paul Worrilow, and added depth to the cover-corner position by signing D.J. Hayden.

  The Lions host an aging and less talented Arizona Cardinals troupe that will have traveled three time zones for this 2017 opener. The Cardinals receivers will be the primary focus for head coach Jim Caldwell’s defensive staff.

  Defensively the Cardinals are well-rounded and balanced but the personnel they lost this offseason wasn’t adequately replaced. Arizona’s Week #1 matchup versus Stafford and company will be difficult test.

  I fully expect Teryl Austin’s secondary to do just enough to assist the Lions’ high powered offense under the guidance of Stafford to outscore Palmer and the Cardinals while covering the field goal handicap, as well.

  2017 NFL Season Opener Free Pick is a play on the Detroit Lions minus the points.
