The New England Patriots and the Detroit Lions are set to square off in the NFL Munich Game at Allianz Arena.
Kickoff is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. ET, with live television coverage provided on FOX.
The Detroit Lions enter the international matchup as 2.5-point favorites on the spread, holding a 6-2 record.
Meanwhile, the New England Patriots carry a 5-4 record into Germany while dealing with significant roster injuries.
The Detroit defense sits 24th in DVOA but has shown recent improvement with the return of Brian Branch.
New England’s defense dropped to 16th overall after being heavily tested last week by Jordan Love.
The Patriots will be missing key contributors such as Romeo Doubs, TreVeyon Henderson, and Rhamondre Stevenson.
These absences leave limited options for quarterback Drake Maye on offense.
Meanwhile, A.J. Brown traveled with the team and is listed as questionable to play.
New England boasts the sixth-ranked pass offense DVOA, presenting a potential mismatch against Detroit’s 24th-ranked pass defense.
However, the struggling Patriots offensive line must contend with a fierce pass rush featuring Aidan Hutchinson and Alim McNeill.
International favorites on a neutral field historically perform well against the spread, historically holding a strong cover rate in non-Jacksonville Jaguars matchups.
