Both teams have given up big numbers to opponents all year, so avoid either team defense like the plague.

Stafford a Go, but Calvin a No?
Detroit’s rookie quarterback practiced every day this week, so it would seem that he had no setbacks on the recovery of his knee.

What Happened to Rod Hood?
Two years ago, Rod Hood was a heralded second-tier free agent signing by the Arizona Cardinals. He spent the first four seasons of his career in Philadelphia, mostly as a nickel and dime back. He started 30 games in two seasons for the Cardinals, and his solid play allowed the Cards to move Antrel Rolle [...]
