The PickThis is a wicked trap-door game, especially for the Lions, a young team (on the dreaded short week) coming into its own and dealing with prosperity the likes of which the franchise hasn't seen in a lifetime. The 49ers, while not undefeated, are in a very similar situation, having to put one of its most lopsided victories in recent memory behind them.
But the Niners also are on the road and probably not the team the Lions are right now. And there's the matter of quarterback Alex Smith. Can we really and truly trust him completely just yet?
Pick: Detroit 23, San Francisco 15
