Betting on the Detroit Lions
Nobody expected that the Detroit Lions would be able to put up a fight in the 2022 NFL season, and they still don’t. The team has done nothing to change these beliefs and seems destined to finish in last place in the NFC North division. While its results are definitely not good, the Lions have at least served as entertainment for sports fans.
The team lost 48-45 to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4, marking its second consecutive loss after a 28-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3. In fact, none of their losses this season have been by more than four points, suggesting that Detroit could reverse its current trend somewhat if it makes the necessary adjustments.
Betting on the New England Patriots
The New England Patriots aren’t having an easy season either: after their Week 2 win, the team has lost in its last two consecutive matches. Right now, they are in the bottom of the AFC East; however, perhaps something good can be drawn from the most recent loss.
In Week 4, the Patriots managed to force overtime against a superior opponent such as the Green Bay Packers in a game in which they were without their starting quarterback Mac Jones, who is also likely to miss this game, and ended up losing 24-27. The good performance shown in that defeat could serve as an encouragement for the upcoming clashes.
JefeBet Prediction
Every Lions’ game is worth tuning in for this season. Detroit averages the most points per game (35.0), but its defense concedes the most points (35.3), resulting in matchups averaging an unbelievable number: a little more than 70 points.
The Patriots’ offense may not look in great shape with the absence of a starting quarterback and no one reliable to take that spot, but New England looked good against the Packers despite this. It does not take much to score against the Lions, really;even Washington managed to score 27 points against them.
With such a low point total for what has been seen so far, there is no hesitation in betting the over for this match.
Prediction: Over (DET 31 – NE 27)
