Love the Lions in this spot despite being 0-4 they have played three of their four games on the road and all 4 have been against teams that arguably look playoff bound in the Eagles, Vikings, Bears and Packers. They didn't get blown out in either of these games and I think back home to play the Rams is a good thing. Rams are 2-2, but they have played Cardinals(not the same), Oakland, Redskins, and the Seahawks. They have the 21st pass defense while the Lions continue to look strong in the passing game ranked #7, but expect the Lions to take advantage of the weak run defense the Rams have.
On defense the Lions have held their own I've seen them make goal line stops against the Bears and I was impressed. I don't think Stephen Jackson who terrorized this team a year ago will do it again he seems to be injured still or has lost a step as he's averaging just 3.9 yards per carry. With Suh and the acquisition of Vanden Bosch have really given this team a new look on defense. The ranks are not that great, but considering who they have played I think it's still quite impressive.
