Detroit Lions - NFL Betting Analysis
Heading into week 4, the Detroit Lions are looking to bounce back from a loss to the Seahawks by a score of 48-45, giving them a loss against a NFC opponent. Leading into the matchup, the Lions were -3.0 point favorites, resulting in both a straight up and ATS loss. With their combined 48 points, the two teams exceeded the betting over-under number of 48. In the game, Detroit trailed the Seahawks by a score of 38-23 heading into the 4th quarter. Through 4 games, the Lions have an ATS record of 3-1. So far, they have an over-under record of 4-0. This week's betting total of 45.5 is slightly lower than the line in their previous games.
Heading into this week's matchup, the Lions offense is averaging 35.0 points per game, placing them 1st in the NFL. Look for the team to put together another strong offensive performance, as they are facing a Patriots defense giving up 24.5 points per game. Throughout the game, Detroit should be able to move the ball through the air, as they are the 5th ranked team in terms of passing yards. In addition, they are facing off against a defense that has been vulnerable in the secondary. On the ground, the Lions should be in line for a good performance, as they are one of the better rushing team's in the league and are facing a defense that has its problem stopping the run.
New England Patriots - NFL Betting Analysis
Heading into week 4, the New England Patriots are looking to bounce back from a loss to the Packers by a score of 27-24, giving them a loss over a non-conference win. In terms of betting, New England covered the spread as 9.5-point underdogs. In addition, the teams combined for 51 points, which surpassed the betting line of 40. Through 4 games, the Patriots have an ATS record of 1-3. So far, they have an over-under record of 2-2. This week's betting total of 45.5 is slightly lower than the line in their previous games.
As the Patriots prepare to take on Detroit, they are ranked 23rd in points per game at 18.5. Look for the team to put together a strong offensive performance vs a Lions defense giving up 35.2 points per game. Although the Patriots come into the game ranked just 22nd in pass yards per game, they will benefit from facing a Detroit secondary that is vulnerable through the air. We expect New England to have an above average performance in the passing attack. On the ground, the Patriots should be in line for a good performance, as they are one of the better rushing team's in the league and are facing a defense that has its problem stopping the run.
