Detroit Lions
Over 10.5: -115 (bet $10 to win $18.70 total)
Under 10.5: -105 (bet $10 to win $19.52 total)
What to know: Despite the disappointing 2025 season, Detroit remained one of the NFL’s most explosive offenses, ranking fourth in scoring at 28.3 points per game and fifth in total offense with 372.0 yards per game.
Jared Goff threw for the second most yards (4,564) and touchdowns (34) in the NFL, Jahmyr Gibbs had 1,839 all-purpose yards, and Amon-Ra St. Brown had 117 receptions for 1,401 yards and 11 touchdowns.
The defense, however, couldn’t match that production. The Lions allowed 24.3 points per game, ranking 22nd in the league.
This offseason, Detroit added D.J. Wonnum to bolster the pass rush, while also signing Roger McCreary to help with the secondary.
The Lions also focused on improving their offensive line by adding Cade Mays and Larry Borom in free agency before selecting Blake Miller in the first round of the NFL Draft. After the unit slipped from its usual standard over the past few seasons, Detroit made strengthening the trenches one of its top priorities.
Odds: This upcoming season, Detroit is the +170 favorite to win the NFC North, the +930 fifth choice to win the NFC and the +1900 12th choice to win the Super Bowl.
