Who will win the Hall of Fame game tonight?

As of now, the Lions are currently favored by 1.5 points, and are expected to win. It's important to note that notable players like Justin Herbert are sitting out, as the game has no implication on regular season standings. That being said, a win here can set a team up well for the upcoming season, and with plenty of backups fighting for game-time reps, can showcase who deserves a spot on the NFL field.
