Many factors.

Ultimately, it comes down to what 'SHOULD' happen. At least according to the oddsmakers....

. . . and in a game like this they will also sweeten the spread to encourage betting on the underdog . . . in this case Detroit . . . the way you guys are playing, they have to do something to get some action on Detroit . . . plus it's in your barn, that's worth 3 . . . I'll take Detroit +10.5 all day long.

go Lions.

they pick the number that will yield the most equal number of bets on each team. So, they try to pick a point spread that is attractive to bettors of either team
