I don't see it... DET is not nearly as good as everbody says. Through week 10 they have had the 6th easiest schedule this year. The games they won have been due to turnovers by their opponents; which DET has capitalized on. Yeah maybe DET has a good DEF, but they haven't played the best opponents.

They have played 2 teams with records > .500 TB / NYG and 4 opponents with .500 record. WAS / DEN / ARI / PHI.

DET is 2-4 vs. teams >= .500 teams - and if you look a little closer at the win vs. TB - and so called route of DEN -

DEN win : Denver's backup QB Ramsay - had two lost fumbles and an INT; a fumble and INT were returned for TDs. Rookie RB Young lost a fumble - and Denver penalized 84 yds.

TB win : Tampa Bay had a punt blocked, lost two fumbles (which the Lions turned into 14 points) and were penalized seven times for 60 yards.

Will GB turn it over 3 or 4 times, will they have punts and FGs blocked? GB hasn't looked like a team that will make these type of mistakes - but I'll admit that Favre has been known to turn it over from time to time.
