I'm going to say 45-42 Jags and Lawrence to keep his game winning magic going.

So it's probably going to end 6-3. Sorry!

Welcome back D6, always enjoy reading your takes.

Thanks. JagFan81.

An added dimension to this game from the standpoint of the Lions Defense attempting to limit the impact of Travis Lawrence, is that edge player James Houston was signed from the Practice Squad early this week. Houston was elevated to the Game Day roster against the Bills on Thanksgiving Day and had 2 sacks on only 5 snaps. Not the clean up type of sacks.  

James Houston is familiar to UF and SEC fans in general, as he was with the Gators until transferring to Jackson St. for his final college season.  Houston was drafted by the Lions in the latter part of Round 6 in the 2022 Draft.  He showed promise in training camp but didn't survive the cutdown to 53 players.  Houston cleared waivers and signed a Practice Squad contract with the Lions.  Then, taking advantage of his first regular season game opportunity 8 days ago.
