Eagles vs. Lions prediction: Hop on the favorite in this one

There are eight dwelling underdogs within the NFL on Sunday. A type of underdogs is the Detroit Lions, catching 4 factors at dwelling towards the Philadelphia Eagles.

There’s little question a handful of the house ’canines will money in Week 1, although I don’t imagine the Lions might be certainly one of them. The darlings of HBO’s “Exhausting Knocks,” cash got here pouring in on Detroit from informal bettors watching the present. And although head coach Dan Campbell doing up-downs with gamers makes for nice TV, it could not result in many extra wins.

The Lions do have extra expertise this season, however my problem with them is on the defensive aspect of the ball. Even with the addition of Aidan Hutchinson, there are nonetheless too many holes on protection, particularly the again seven. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts ought to have a giant sport as each a runner and a passer and I don’t see Detroit’s offense maintaining for 4 quarters.

Betting on the NFL?

These two groups performed final season in Detroit, and Philadelphia blew the Lions out, 44-6. In that sport, the Eagles rushed for 236 yards and 5.1 YPC. Anticipate extra of the identical on Sunday.

I make this line nearer to Eagles -6, so there's some worth backing Philadelphia as a modest street favourite. The Lions had been the discuss of the summer season, however they merely don’t match up properly with the Eagles. Lay the factors on this one.

The play: Eagles -4.
