Although the 2019 NFL season is over, it’s never too soon to begin placing bets on the upcoming season.

Many sportsbooks across the country have already released Super Bowl odds for the 2020 NFL season. However, considering their 3-12-1 record in 2019, the Lions are not expected to be frontrunners for next season’s championship. Here are the title odds for Matt Patricia’s Lions according to some of the leading online sportsbooks.

FanDuel Sportsbook offers odds of +6600.

The odds at DraftKings Sportsbook are +6600.

The odds for 888 Sport are +6600.

The Action Network has experienced a positive growth of 7234.

Other odds: Can Lions pull a 49ers?

If you’re thinking about placing a bet on the Lions to win the Super Bowl during this offseason, it may not be the wisest financial decision. Nevertheless, there is a glimmer of hope for them to have an unexpectedly successful season, taking into account how the 49ers went from a 4-12 record in 2018 to becoming NFC Champions in 2019. Is it possible for the Lions to follow in the footsteps of the 49ers?

Placing a bet on them to secure the NFC Championship wouldn’t be as risky considering DraftKings offers odds of +3000 and FanDuel has them at +3200.

Furthermore, considering Aaron Rodgers’ advancing age for the Packers, there is a possibility that the Lions might have a chance to claim the NFC North. The odds of the Lions winning their division in 2020, as per DraftKings, stand at +900.

If you find betting on the team too risky, an alternative is to bet on quarterback Matthew Stafford. Considering he played only eight games in 2019, do you believe Stafford has the potential to have an outstanding year next season? FanDuel offers odds of +4400 for him to win MVP, which may be a smaller risk compared to betting on his team to win the Super Bowl.

Defensive help?

In terms of defense, the Lions had a lackluster performance last year with their ranking at 26th in the NFL for points allowed per game, allowing an average of 26.4 points per contest. Their primary concern lies in the secondary. Despite having a Pro Bowl cornerback, Darius Slay, the Lions were the worst team in the NFL for passing yards allowed per game in 2019. They allowed opposing quarterbacks to amass an average of 284.4 passing yards per game.

It is highly probable that the Lions will address their weak secondary by acquiring assistance for Slay in the upcoming NFL Draft. According to ESPN’s Todd McShay, the team is projected to choose Ohio State cornerback Jeff Okudah as the No. 3 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Okudah demonstrated his skills during his time with the Buckeyes, recording three interceptions and forcing one fumble in the 2019 season. Remarkably, Pro Football Focus reveals that in the last two seasons, Okudah played 27 games without allowing any opposing receiver to accumulate more than 50 yards receiving.

By choosing him, Okudah has the potential to become a defensive standout for the Lions, significantly enhancing their secondary right away.

Looking for the next franchise QB?

With Stafford recently celebrating his 32nd birthday and limited appearances in just eight games last season, the question arises whether the Lions might consider seeking a replacement through the NFL Draft. FanDuel has even published an article presenting three potential destinations for Stafford in the event that the Lions choose to draft a young quarterback.

At present, the quarterback situation for the Lions remains uncertain, yet it is anticipated that the draft will provide much-needed clarity and answers.

Star-studded pass-catchers

Despite Stafford missing half of the previous season, the Lions’ receiving unit displayed impressive performances. Kenny Golladay had an exceptional season, amassing 65 receptions for 1,190 yards and securing 11 touchdowns. Similarly, Marvin Jones contributed significantly with 62 catches for 779 yards and nine touchdowns. Notably, Danny Amendola also had a commendable year, reeling in 62 passes for 678 yards.

If Amendola remains a free agent, the return of Jones and Golladay, combined with a healthy Stafford or a skilled young quarterback, could potentially surpass the achievements of the previous year.

The Lions are expected to have a hectic offseason in the coming months. However, fans are hopeful that the team will provide them with enough reassurance to place their bets confidently for the 2020 season.
