Stadium: Ford Field, Detroit

It’s another big game this week as the unbeaten Vikings look to enter enemy territory and come away with a win. However, the Lions are still one of our top picks to win the Super Bowl, and their recent form has been solid enough to recommend.

Best Bet

Lions -3.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

It hasn’t been smooth sailing for the Lions, but we’re happy to stick with them following a win over the Green Bay Packers last week.

They might have gotten the rub of the green with the refs, but a win is a win. They put themselves in a position to win, and their defence has been stepping up, because we know their offence is good enough to beat most teams.

The Lions lost to Buffalo and Carolina earlier in the year, but they have recent wins over the Packers, Jets, and Cardinals. They’re not the finished product, and the Vikings are unbeaten, so this will be a good test for them.

Playing at home is ideal for the Lions, and we’re happy with the -3.5 line. We have them winning by a touchdown, so include the home team in NFL picks this week.

Same Game Multi

Lions -3.5, Amon-Ra St. Brown Anytime Touchdown Scorer, Jahmyr Gibbs Anytime Touchdown Scorer, Total Points Over 46.5 @ $7.00

Bet Now

Amon-Ra St. Brown is an enigmatic player, but he’s talented. He has three touchdowns from his last five games, and although he didn’t score last week, we expect a good bounce-back effort from the wide receiver.

We also expect Jahmyr Gibbs to score a touchdown at short odds of $1.37. It’s not a big price, but the running back has seven TDs in his last five games, so include him to boost payouts.

Defence should struggle in this game, and we predict a high-scoring affair. Include over 46.5 points in NFL predictions.

Best Value Bet

Amon-Ra St. Brown First Touchdown Scorer @ $9.75

Bet Now

St. Brown could make an immediate impact in his game, and we expect the Lions quarterback to target him early in the game.

He hasn’t had a touchdown in his last three games, which is rare for a player of his quality, so we’re happy to back him at a good price.

Take the $9.75 odds for a bit of value on Monday.
