On the whole, Detroit has begun the process of getting right. Firing coach Matt Patricia was step one. Patricia had zero credibility with his players. That translated on the field. In the same way, fans and gamblers stopped buying long ago. Still, Detroit has miles to go to become a contender. But at least the process has begun. Meanwhile, Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill is proving he’s no fluke. Running back Derrick Henry is a perfect compliment to Tannehill. Tennessee’s offense is a key NFL bets asset. Defenses must stay honest against this tandem. Tennessee is a big chalk Sunday.
