Detroit Lions - NFL Betting Analysis
Last week, Detroit played in a non-conference game vs. the New York Jets, winning by a score of 20-17. Not only did the Lions win the game, but they also covered the spread a 2.0-point underdogs. Together, the two teams combined score remained below the over-under betting line of 44. Despite being the 2.0-point underdogs heading into the game, the Lions held a 3-point lead heading into the 4th quarter. Through 14 games, the Lions have an ATS record of 10-4. So far, they have an over-under record of 9-5. This week's betting total of 44.5 is slightly lower than the line in their previous games.
As the Lions prepare to take on Carolina, they have played well on offense, ranking 6th in points per game at 26.4. Look for the team to put together another strong offensive performance, as they are facing a Panthers defense ranked 16th in points per game. This season, Detroit has been one of the better passing teams in the league, averaging 249.1 yards per game through the air. Although the Panthers' 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, our projections show that the Lions' offense will surpass their season average of 126.1 as the Panthers are a below-average rush defense.
Carolina Panthers - NFL Betting Analysis
Heading into week 16, the Panthers will look to get back in the win column, as they are coming off a 24-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Carolina lost the game, even though they entered the game as -3.0 point favorites. By the end of the game, the teams combined for 40 points, surpassing the betting line of 37. In the game, Carolina trailed the Steelers by a score of 21-7 heading into the 4th quarter. Through 14 games, the Panthers have an ATS record of 7-7. So far, they have an over-under record of 6-8. This week's betting total of 44.5 is slightly higher than the line in their previous games.
As the Panthers prepare to take on Detroit, they are ranked 24th in points per game at 19.7. Look for the team to put together a strong offensive performance vs a Lions defense giving up 26 points per game. Although the Panthers come into the game ranked just 30th in pass yards per game, they will benefit from facing a Detroit secondary that is vulnerable through the air. We expect Carolina to have an above-average performance in the passing attack. For the season, the Panthers are averaging 117.5 yards per game.
