Even though the NFL Draft hasn’t played out yet and nobody knows who will be under center for the Arizona Cardinals when the Detroit Lions visit in Week 1, that doesn’t stop the professional sportsbooks from laying game odds. And many Lions supporters were taken aback by the initial line showing the game as a pick ’em, with neither team favored.
Bettors have changed that, quickly. Since the initial line came out shortly after the schedule release last week, enough money has flowed in on the Lions to move the line. Detroit is now favored by 1 point, according to the latest lines at Bovada and BetNow (tracked via OddsShark).
The lines figure to change after the draft. If you are a wagerer and like the value of the Lions, now might be the best time to put your money where your heart is.
