The stakes are significantly higher for the Lions in this one. The Rams are pushing for the NFC one-seed, but you'll forgive them if they already have their eyes on a much more important game to come four days after this one, as L.A. heads to Seattle for what might be the most significant game of the season. If the Rams win in Seattle, they're 90% to win the division, per The Athletic, regardless of this Detroit game. Win out after a win in Seattle, beating Atlanta and Arizona, and L.A. is 95% to clinch the one-seed — again, regardless of a Lions result. This game doesn't matter that much for L.A. A win would be a bonus, especially against old friend Jared Goff, but it matters much more to Detroit. The Lions are just trying to get into the postseason, and stealing this one would go a long way toward giving them a shot at the playoffs. Detroit sits at 40% to make the playoffs at the moment, but moves to 90% if they win this game and either beat Chicago in Week 18 or sweep Pittsburgh and Minnesota in between. Lose this one and the Lions drop to around 30% to make the playoffs, effectively needing to win out and get help over those final three games to squeeze in. This matters more to Detroit, which means the Lions will play and coach more aggressively, and they'll do so with extra rest, with everything on the line, as opposed to a Rams team just trying to get to Thursday healthy. That stuff matters. These are both outstanding teams, each of them in the top five by DVOA on both offense and defense. The Rams' offense is the standout unit, though their special teams is by far the weakest. There's a world where Matthew Stafford puts up another MVP performance against his old team, a reeling secondary missing its top three players. In the last three games against the Lions, Sean McVay has relentlessly attacked this man-heavy defense with his go-to receiver — the Rams WR1 has averaged 11 catches for 149 yards in those games. That includes a 9/181 game from Puka Nacua, I'm investing in some alt overs in case Nacua goes off again. The Lions rank bottom 10 by DVOA against WR1s and have allowed the second most fantasy points to opposing WRs. Nacua saw a midseason dip from Weeks 6-11 to barely over 50% snaps and just 6.3 targets a game, but the eight games before and after have seen 74% snap rate with 11.6 targets a game and an average line of 9/116. I'll skip the median outcomes and play 10+ receptions at +220 (bet365) and 150+ receiving yards at +451 (DraftKings). But even with Stafford and this passing attack lighting up the scoreboard, the Lions won two of those three matchups anyway, and this team stacks up stylistically like other teams that have given the Rams problems. LA's losses this season have come against the Eagles, 49ers, and Panthers — three teams with physical, bruising rushing attacks that can control the clock and keep Stafford and this offense on the sidelines. The Rams also barely got past the Colts and Seahawks, two more teams that fit that bill. That's Lions football, running the ball and biting kneecaps. That's how Dan Campbell wants his team to live. Detroit's secondary got lit up by Dak Prescott and the Cowboys last Thursday, too, but the Lions won comfortably anyway. If Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery attack all game on the ground, can the Rams defense keep up? LA's defensive front is built around small, speedy pass rushers. The Rams have struggled against bigger, more physical teams. If those pass rushers do get pressure on Jared Goff, the numbers suggest that it will be a big problem for Detroit. But if Goff can get the ball out quickly or keep handing it off to his runners, Detroit can play Lions football and follow the underdog script to victory. The preseason line for this game was Lions -1.5. It's now Rams -5.5, a full touchdown in LA's direction. Are the Rams really a full touchdown better than the Lions now compared to what we expected coming into the season? Detroit just needs this more than L.A. The Rams are the better team, but the Lions have matchup advantages to exploit and it's worth playing the +225 moneyline and giving Detroit a chance to win. This was the underdog I built this week's Pick Six moneyline parlay around, pairing Lions ML with five big favorites at +571.

Detroit Lions Odds, Bet Types, and Team History

The Lions enter the 2025 season with plenty of hype. They set a franchise record with 15 wins in 2024 and earned the NFC’s No. 1 seed. However, their season ended in the divisional round with a home loss to the Washington Commanders. Now, the Lions have their eyes on a Super Bowl run.

Optimism surrounds Detroit everywhere. Dan Campbell stands as the “it” coach of the moment, Aidan Hutchinson has delivered on his high draft status, Amon-Ra St. Brown has become the new receptions star, and Jared Goff has won over the city.

Detroit featured an electrifying offense last season, but the defense suffered a barrage of late-season injuries. Hutchinson missed more than half the year with a broken leg, and his return should deliver a massive boost to the team.

The biggest losses this offseason came on the coaching staff. Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson left to become the Chicago Bears’ head coach, while defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn took over the New York Jets. The question now is whether the Lions can remain one of the league’s elite teams without them.

Detroit opens the season on Sept. 7 on the road against the Packers. Oddsmakers set the Lions’ over/under for wins at 10.5.

Detroit Lions & WynnBET

The Detroit Lions announced in July 2021 a multi-year agreement naming WynnBET as the team’s official betting partner. The Lions opened the WynnBET Sports Bar at Ford Field for the 2021 season, giving fans 21 and older a place to enjoy the experience. The onsite offerings include brand ambassadors, live betting lines, and food and drinks. WynnBET also gains visibility through the Lions’ mobile app, social media accounts, preseason TV broadcasts, regular-season pregame TV programming, and in-game radio broadcasts.

To learn more about WynnBET, read our sportsbook review.

Detroit Lions & BetMGM

BetMGM became the Detroit Lions' first sports betting partner in September 2020. BetMGM hosts Lions Bingo and Lions Perks, and its brand appears throughout Ford Field.

Take a look at our BetMGM bonus code review if you'd like to learn more about the King of Sportsbooks.

Betting on the Detroit Lions

Detroit Lions Point Spreads

Betting point spreads mean you wager on whether a team wins or loses by a specific number of points. Here’s an example:

  • Vikings +4.5 (+110)
  • Lions -4.5 (-110)

In this situation, the Vikings enter as 4.5-point underdogs against the Lions. If Detroit wins by five or more points, a $100 wager on the Lions pays $90.91. If Minnesota wins outright or loses by four points or fewer, a $100 wager pays $110 plus the original $100, for a total return of $210.

FAQ: Everything you need to know about point spreads

Lions Over/Unders

Over/under, also called the point total, is a wager on the combined scoring of a single game. Bookmakers set a number, and you can bet either the over or — you guessed it — the under. Here’s how it works:

Suppose the Packers play the Lions and the over/under is 45 points. A bet on the over wins if Green Bay and Detroit score 46 or more total points. A bet on the under wins if the two teams score 44 or fewer points. The wager can also push if the game ends with exactly 45 points scored.

FAQ: Betting the point total, explained | What is a push?

Detroit Lions Moneylines

Betting on the moneyline is simple—here’s an example:

  • Lions -125
  • Bears +105

The minus (-) and plus (+) signs show the favorite and the underdog, making Detroit the favorite in this matchup. You can better understand odds by thinking in $10 or $100 increments. A $125 wager on the Lions nets $100 in profit. For underdogs, it works the opposite way: with the Bears at +105, a $100 wager profits $105.

Bettors also use moneylines in parlays, which combine multiple bets into one. For example, if you bet the Lions moneyline and a -2.5 point spread, Detroit must win by at least three points for the bet to cash. The risk increases, but so does the reward with boosted odds. Use our Odds Calculator to figure out any bet amount or conversion.

FAQ: How to bet on the moneyline | How to make a parlay

Detroit Lions Props

Player props let you wager on a single player and tie the bet to one stat from the box score of a game or even the entire season. Many bettors find these wagers especially fun, especially if you already play fantasy football and enjoy the player-specific focus. Check out a hypothetical example below:

Jared Goff passing yards: 3,900.5

FAQ: How prop betting works

Lions Futures

Futures work much like prop bets, but they track performance over an entire season. Most futures focus on end-of-season success. Examples include:

  • Detroit Lions odds to win the NFC North (+160)
  • Detroit Lions odds to win the NFC (+500)
  • Detroit Lions odds to win the Super Bowl (+1100)
  • Jared Goff’s odds to win MVP (+3000)

If you believe the Lions turn things around and win the NFC North—or go even further—this is the market for you. For a full list of NFL futures, click or tap here.

In this situation, the Vikings enter as 4.5-point underdogs against the Lions. If Detroit wins by five or more points, a $100 wager on the Lions pays $90.91. If Minnesota wins outright or loses by four points or fewer, a $100 wager pays $110 plus the original $100, for a total return of $210.

Lions Over/Unders

Over/under, also called the point total, is a wager on the combined scoring of a single game. Bookmakers set a number, and you can bet either the over or — you guessed it — the under. Here’s how it works:

Suppose the Packers play the Lions and the over/under is 45 points. A bet on the over wins if Green Bay and Detroit score 46 or more total points. A bet on the under wins if the two teams score 44 or fewer points. The wager can also push if the game ends with exactly 45 points scored.

Detroit Lions Moneylines

Betting on the moneyline is simple—here’s an example:

  • Lions -125
  • Bears +105

The minus (-) and plus (+) signs show the favorite and the underdog, making Detroit the favorite in this matchup. You can better understand odds by thinking in $10 or $100 increments. A $125 wager on the Lions nets $100 in profit. For underdogs, it works the opposite way: with the Bears at +105, a $100 wager profits $105.

Bettors also use moneylines in parlays, which combine multiple bets into one. For example, if you bet the Lions moneyline and a -2.5 point spread, Detroit must win by at least three points for the bet to cash. The risk increases, but so does the reward with boosted odds. Use our Odds Calculator to figure out any bet amount or conversion.

Detroit Lions Props

Player props let you wager on a single player and tie the bet to one stat from the box score of a game or even the entire season. Many bettors find these wagers especially fun, especially if you already play fantasy football and enjoy the player-specific focus. Check out a hypothetical example below:

Jared Goff passing yards: 3,900.5
