NFL Best Bet of the Day – Titans vs. Lions
Our best bet between Tennessee and Detroit will target the Under on Lions QB Jared Goff. Specifically, his passing yard player prop bet, currently set at 237.5, on a single-unit wager.
The total for this game is 45, with the Lions as heavy 11.5-point home favorites, meaning professional oddsmakers and sportsbooks are anticipating a relatively high-scoring affair between two inter-conference opponents on Sunday afternoon with the Lions winning by a significant margin.
Winners of four-consecutive contests, the Lions look like one of the best teams in the NFL and can attest much of their early-season success to their stud quarterback. Through six games thus far in 2024, the former California Golden Bear has amassed 1,610 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, four interceptions, a 73.6% completion percentage, and a 111.5 passer rating.
That said, this afternoon’s matchup will present a big test for Goff and the Lions offense, who will be without stud wideout Jameson Williams, who will be serving the first of a two-game suspension. They’ll still have star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and second-year tight end Sam LaPorta.
In lieu of their 1-5 overall record, the Titans, under first-year Head Coach Brian Callahan are one of the best defensive teams in football.
From an advanced metrics/analytics perspective, Tennessee ranks first in the NFL in both Opponent Yards per Game (272.2), fourth in Opponent Completion Percentage (59.65%), and third in Opponent Passing Yards per Game (166.7).
In addition, as hefty 11.5-home favorites and (-650) odds to win outright, that carries with it a colossal 86.67% implied-win probability. This signifies that we are likely to see a more run-heavy approach from the Lions offense, especially in the absence of the aforementioned Williams, where Detroit is expected to play with the lead, dictate tempo, and work the clock.
Take the Under on Goff’s passing prop at an enticing (-110) price point. That wraps up our NFL best bet of the day between the Lions and Titans in Week 8.
