Detroit Lions Week 1 Odds and Betting Picks

Week 1 of the NFL season is finally upon us. We’ve waited all offseason for opening weekend, and preseason only wet our whistle so much. Each team has a fascinating set of storylines that will define their season.

The Detroit Lions have some of the lowest expectations around the NFL. The deck is clearly stacked against a team that tore down some of the walls that held together a mediocre franchise in hopes they can rebuild to a much higher ceiling. This bodes poorly for 2021’s success but maybe not beyond.

New head coach Dan Campbell and quarterback Jared Goff are hoping to show they have what it takes to win despite being doubted in previous positions. Can the Lions overcome a lack of proven talent to be successful?

We’re going to break down the Lions’ Week 1 odds and betting picks.
