Matchup Preview

Updated 1 month ago
Recent meetings favor Detroit, while Arizona still carries steadier franchise pedigree across years. With no true home tilt and a moderate scoring profile, expect an overall controlled tempo game. Both teams show flat offensive and defensive trends, so matchup details matter more than scheme shifts. Early down efficiency, red zone finishing, and avoiding a single costly mistake in key spots will decide it. Detroit's better recent form gives a clear short term edge, but the overall outcome should remain tight.
