Surely, you insist, that implies some sort of strategy, or at least is evidence of logical human thought and action?

Betting: Expect Philly to go to the air, Detroit to struggle on the road

Maldonado: The Lions' scoring ability collapses against top-tier defensive fronts, and Philly is structured to limit the Lions' path to touchdowns. Jared Goff's spike weeks only happen against bad defenses, and the Eagles defense is peaking after adding Jaelan Phillips and activating Nolan Smith Jr. a few weeks ago. This unit is generating nearly a 50% pressure rate while blitzing just 12% of the time, which can wreck Detroit's timing. Jahmyr Gibbs looked great last week against Washington, but the Eagles are top five in yards allowed before contact and haven't allowed a 100-yard rusher this season. Matchup, metrics and regression all point to Lions having difficulty on the road.

New starting backcourt emerges for St. John's basketball in blowout victory

He opted for Dylan Darling, who had missed the Red Storm's last game due to a calf injury, instead and it paid massive dividends as the No. 13 Johnnies used a second half surge to cruise to a 93-60 victory. "We were throwing the ball away way too much," Pitino explained of what he saw during practice. Playing Darling next to Oziyah Sellers in the backcourt allowed the Stanford transfer to get free and hunt his shot instead of worrying about orchestrating the offense, and it worked resulting in 13 points on three made 3-pointers.
