The Atlanta Falcons and Detroit Lions face off on Friday in an NFL preseason game at Ford Field. When these two teams faced off in December of 2021 it was the Falcons thawt were able to secure the 20-16 victory.
Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons are a team that has a ton of questions heading into this season, and the hope is a lot of those will be answered in the preseason. Gone is Matt Ryan who is off to the Colts and now the starter is expected to be Marcus Mariota.
All eyes in this game are going to be on Desmond Ridder and Feleipe Franks who are the backup, but many believe that Ridder is the future starter of this team, even if that isn’t this year. All eyes are going to be Drake London who is expected to be a star with this team.
Last season on defense the Falcons were bad and they really didn’t do a whole lot during the offseason to really improve on that. The defense could be the big issue for them in this game.
Detroit Lions
On the other side of this matchup is the Lions who struggled last season, and this team looks like it’s better than that, although this probably still isn’t a playoff team. The starting quarterback for the Lions is Jared Goff, but it’s unclear how long he will go in this game. Behind the Lions is Tim Boyle and David Blough.
All eyes in this game for the Lions are going to be on Aidan Hutchinson who was taken second overall in the draft. Hutchinson is going to be a game charger for this Lions defense and he could have a big impact in this game.

4* Free Week 1 NFL Betting Prediction: Lions +1
The Lions have the better team and I think Hutchinson is going to have a big game here. The Falcons offensive line is an issue and the Lions are going to have no issue getting the job done here. Back the Lions to get the job done against the spread.
