Miami at Detroit

August 16, 2025
img1:00 PM Eastern

Backup quarterbacks Zach Wilson and Quinn Ewers combined to direct three TD drives as Miami tied the Bears 24-24 in Week 1, covering a 3-point spread. Miami coach Mike McDaniel is 5-4-1 straight up and 6-4 ATS in the preseason. Dan Campbell is 6-8 SU and 6-7-1 ATS for Detroit. The Lions have an impending serious situation if starter Jared Goff were to get injured and miss some or all games, as Hendon Hooker hasn't exactly excelled in the preseason's first two games. Hooker completed seven of 10 passes for 38 yards in Detroit's 17-10 win over Atlanta, but he also lost two fumbles. Kyle Allen replaced him and completed seven of eight for 120 yards and two TDs, but Campbell is not depending on him too much as Allen has appeared in only 16 games the past five years, including just one in 2024 with Pittsburgh. Detroit went 3-0 in the 2024 preseason, but its objective this season is to atone for a crushing loss in the playoffs after finishing 15-2. Take the Dolphins.
