Detroit Lions - NFL Betting Analysis
Going back to last week, the Lions picked up a win in the NFC North, as they defeated the Lions by a score of 34-23. Detroit also picked up an ATS win, with a point spread of -2.5. The teams combined for a total of 57 points, which surpassed the over-under betting line of 51. On their way to picking up an 11-point win, Detroit held an 8-point lead heading into the 4th quarter at 21-13. Through 13 games, the Lions have an ATS record of 9-4. So far, they have an over-under record of 9-4. This week's betting total of 44.0 is lower than the line in their previous games.
As the Lions prepare to take on New York, they have played well on offense, ranking 5th in points per game at 26.9. Even though they have a tough matchup against the league's 6th-ranked defense, look for Detroit to continue their strong offensive play. This season, Detroit has been one of the better passing teams in the league, averaging 248.9 yards per game through the air. Although the Jets' defense has been able to limit opposing teams in the passing game, Detroit should still be able to continue to generate big plays through the pass. On the ground, the Lions are ranked 11th in rushing yards at 127.5 yards per game.
New York Jets - NFL Betting Analysis
Heading into week 15, the New York Jets are looking to bounce back from a divisional loss to the Bills by a score of 20-12. In terms of betting, New York covered the spread as 10.0 point underdogs. The team's combined scoring of 32 points fell below the posted betting line of 43. The Jets were not able to make a comeback in last week's game, as they trailed Buffalo by a score of 17-7 heading into the final quarter. Through 13 games, the Jets have an ATS record of 8-5. So far, they have an over-under record of 5-8. This week's betting total of 44.0 is right in line with their previous games.
As the Jets prepare to take on Detroit, they are ranked 22nd in points per game at 20.3. Look for the team to put together a strong offensive performance vs a Lions defense giving up 26.7 points per game. Although the Jets come into the game ranked just 15th in pass yards per game, they will benefit from facing a Detroit secondary that is vulnerable through the air. We expect New York to have an above-average performance in the passing attack. On the ground, our projections show that the Jets' offense will have its problems. Even though they have a decent matchup against Detroit, look for New York to come up with fewer rush yards than their season average of 112.1.
