Best Bet

Lions -10.5
Line

In the last two weeks, the Bengals have been not just the worst team in the NFL, but one of the worst teams in NFL history.

The following – courtesy of OptaStats – summarises how badly things are going.

In each of their last 2 games, the Bengals have: lost by 25+ points; had under 200 total yards; had under 60 rushing yards; been outrushed by 100+ yards; taken 3+ sacks. No other NFL team in the Super Bowl era has done that in back-to-back games.

Hence the 10.5 point line this week against the Lions.

The Lions are not the team you want to play when struggling. They are ruthless about burying opponents, hence their incredible 38-13-1 record against the line in their last 52 games.

Until the Bengals show they are capable of playing NFL football, they have to be bet against.


Same Game Multi

Lions -10.5, Gibbs Over 70.5 Rushing Yards & TD, Chase Brown Under 50.5 Rushing Yards,
Same Game Multi

Unfortunately Jahmyr Gibbs splits carries with David Montgomery but he is by far the most dangerous threat running the ball for Detroit. He has four scores in his last three games.

Poor old Chase Brown has failed top 47 yards in four outings this season and now has to contend with the Lions top 10 run defence.


Value Bet

Amon-Ra St Brown
2+ Touchdowns

St. Brown leads the NFL with 6 receiving touchdowns this season – all in the last three weeks. With the Bengals struggles at corner, happy to take him for multiple scores here, as he has done twice in the last three weeks.
