Detroit Lions Picks

The Detroit Lions kick off their 2014 campaign by playing all of their home games indoors at Ford Field. This state of the art facility has been home to Super Bowls in the past and if the Lions have it their way, this could be the first year that the Lions ever play in the Super Bowl. The Lions have head coach Jim Caldwell who once coached an Indianapolis Colts team to a 14-2 record. On the flipside, Caldwell also coached the Colts to a 2-14 campaign. He did make a Super Bowl appearance in 2009 losing to the Saints.

Caldwell looks to recapture that magic by starting veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford alongside Calvin Johnson who many refer to as Megatron. All of the top NFL online betting sites have the Detroit Lions slated as only winning 8 games this coming season. If you are making some NFL prop wagering picks, we would say stay away from betting on the Detroit Lions this season. Calvin Johnson and Matthew Stafford have combined for some stellar offensive numbers in the past and Caldwell’s offensive expertise is expected to help the Lions take the next step in their quest to win a Super Bowl. The Lions will host the Giants for the first game of the season on Monday Night Football. The game will be broadcast on ESPN starting at 7:10ET on Monday September 8th 2014. The Detroit Lions are currently sitting at 33/1 betting odds to win the Super Bowl which seems pretty fair given the talent level of their roster.
