Best Bet

Lions –5.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Lions come off a disappointing loss to the Chiefs, but one key turnover in the first half turned the game on its head.

We’re prepared to back them against the Buccaneers, who are playing well, but we rate Jared Goff in this situation slightly better than Baker Mayfield, despite Mayfield’s statistics being off the charts so far in 2025.

We rate the Lions as potential Super Bowl contenders, and we’re not about to let one loss dent our confidence. They are –5.5 favourites with good reason, so back them to win and cover the number.

Same Game Multi

Lions –5.5, Jahmyr Gibbs Anytime Touchdown Scorer, Amon-Ra St. Brown Anytime Touchdown Scorer, Over 52.5 Points @ $7.50

Bet Now

We backed Jahmyr Gibbs and Amon-Ra St. Brown to score last week, and although we didn’t get the chocolates, we’re happy to back them again.

Gibbs didn’t get many opportunities close to the end zone, but he played well. He’s a short favourite to score a TD this week, and he’s worth including in NFL multis. We also like St. Brown, who battled through an injury against the Chiefs.

Punters get $1.98 for St. Brown to score, which boosts odds in what should be a high-scoring game. That’s why we’re including over 52.5, and it could be a back-and-forth contest. Offence takes centre stage with the Bucs and Lions, so take the available line.

Best Value Bet

Jared Goff 3+ Passing Touchdowns @ $2.80

Bet Now

The Lions have plenty of potential to put points on the board. They scored 52 when beating the Bears, and if they’re anywhere around that number, Goff should have 3+ passing touchdowns.

If they get close to the end zone, he could look to pass instead of hand the ball off. He’s one of the most accurate passers in the NFL, so he’s trusted in close-yardage situations.

Punters get $2.80, which is a fair price.
