According to DraftKings, they have the line set at 9.5 wins for the Lions. If you bet the over, the odds are set at -120 and the odds of +100 are for the under. In the article from PFF, their simulated win total for the Lions is at 8.79 wins.
This would put them behind the Minnesota Vikings, who are projected 8.89 wins. It’s essentially a toss-up between the two teams and much of it could come down to the final three weeks of the season where they have two matchups against each other. It’s predicted that their end of the season tilts could determine who walks away with the NFC North title.
Not buying that scenario–the Vikings suffered serious personnel losses
talking heads don’t matter at all, what matters is what our team does on the field and how well they gel and play quality/productive football together the rest is noise !
Agree with Wolf.
I think it was Twentyman’s interview with Wayne Blair when TT asks him about expectations being rasied and what is it like inside the club.
He answered, it’s all business higher expectations but inside it is all about getting better. Think I have the right video.
The only bias they care about is the bias of the general public’s betting habits and how they perceive available information. They aren’t trying to win the bet, they are simply trying to have the appropriate amount of money on either side.
And if they get the initial line “wrong,” they move it until the money starts moving the other way.
