The Bills-Lions betting line had Detroit as a -7 home favorite.  This number has not moved despite the Lions getting 65% of the action.  We also have your Week 5 Fantasy value for Kyle Orton and Calvin Johnson.

This is expected to be a defensive battle, which tends to favor the UNDER.  The total on this game is 44.

Buffalo has had a tough time on the road, going 5-20 Straight Up in its last 25 away games.  They will start veteran quarterback Kyle Orton, who replaces an ineffective E.J. Manuel.

Orton does have some fantasy value, suggests FantasyPros.com: “Orton went 33-of-51 for 398 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions last year for Dallas. He has talented wide receivers and good pass-catching running backs, and the Bills will likely throw a lot to keep up with the Lions. There are no elite QBs off in Week 5, so fantasy owners shouldn't have to start him right away, but he's an intriguing speculative add if you have room, especially in two-QB leagues.”

While the Bills are allowing the 12th-fewest fantasy points per game, Detroit starting quarterback Matthew Stafford has some powerful weapons in which to throw to. 

Detroit wide receiver and fantasy stud Calvin Johnson disappointed last week with his fewest receiving yards in a Lions win.
