The Detroit Lions are having a great season. They are one of the most exciting teams in the league so seeing them in a standalone spot is a great chance to see some of their stars up close.
There are going to be lots of ways to get down on the NFL on Thursday and throughout the weekend. Here are some props that caught my eye from the first game of Week 12.
Most Receiving Yards Romeo Doubs +800
When you see a number that is mispriced you have to pounce, right? I am not saying that Doubs should be the favorite here; that is Detroit’s Amon-Ra St. Brown. But St. Brown is not even the favorite to lead the Packers in receiving yards on Thursday; that would be Christian Watson at +700. At this price, Doubs is definitely worth a shot. Green Bay is likely chasing the Lions all game long and will throw more in doing so.
Detroit to Score a TD on First Drive (+170)
The Detroit offense can be lethal and they usually do not take a long time to get started. They are tied with Seattle for sixth in the NFL in first-quarter scoring at 6.1 ppg. They scored a couple of first-quarter TDs when these teams met last time and a good aggressive opening script from top OC Ben Johnson is worth backing.
