Prater’s Kick Was A Big Win For Lions, But Bigger Win For Sportsbooks

Can you please rephrase this statement for me?

After a span of 11 months, the Detroit Lions are finally savoring a Victory Monday.

More suitable for individuals who are not into betting.

With time expiring, Matt Prater successfully kicked a 39-yard field goal, effectively terminating Detroit’s 11-game losing streak.

Due to this sense of hopelessness, the sportsbooks emerged victorious, just like the Lions did in their 26-23 win over Arizona.

The Lions aimed to salvage their already struggling season as they moved to a 1-2 record, but unfortunately, the public suffered significant financial losses.

Nevertheless, it is probable that these bettors are the same individuals who have consistently profited by wagering against the Lions over a considerable period.

FanDuel bettors overwhemingly took Arizona

According to Sunday morning’s report, the Lions were the team that received the most bets against them on FanDuel Sportsbook.

According to the book, the Cardinals had the highest percentage of bets (90%) and money (88%) placed on them to cover a 5.5-point spread. This made them the most popular choice among all the games on Sunday’s board.

Furthermore, as the kickoff approached, the Arizona moneyline garnered 81% of bets and 90% of the total money wagered, even though it had a -240 moneyline line.

One of FanDuel’s rivals disclosed comparable unfavorable outcomes for gamblers.

Partners BetRivers and PlaySugarHouse report that 87% of tickets selected the Cardinals to cover a 6-point spread, making it the second most popular bet of the day.

Furthermore, a staggering 91% of moneyline tickets were in favor of Arizona emerging as the victorious team.

The Lions’ victory undeniably shattered numerous teasers and parlay bets, where spreads were manipulated to more advantageous odds. Bettors frequently opt to adjust lines of their favored teams, which they believe will surely win.

With a streak of 11 consecutive losses, Detroit’s rival undoubtedly meets the criteria.

Prater’s kick cashed in MotorCity Casino bonus

Prater’s successful kick not only secured victory for the Lions but also brought benefits to local fans who seized a bonus opportunity.

Last week, the FanDuel Sportsbook at MotorCity Casino offered an odds boost that favored bettors who placed their bets on the Lions’ total points exceeding 24.5.

The self-service betting terminal provided an enhanced odds offer of +140. Customers were limited to placing a single bet with a maximum amount of $200.

Naturally, Prater’s kick secured the victory for the bet.

The score had the potential to alleviate the sting of MotorCity’s unfortunate loss in another odds boost: a tempting three-time moneyline parlay featuring the New England Patriots, Cleveland Browns, and Philadelphia Eagles.

The Philadelphia Eagles made a critical error in overtime against the Cincinnati Bengals, resulting in a tied game and ultimately causing the boosted +250 parlay to be ruined.

Injuries muddying Week 4 vs. Saints

After suffering a 37-30 defeat against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, the New Orleans Saints will enter their upcoming game against the Lions with a strong appetite for victory.

Drew Brees and his team are scheduled to travel to Detroit, but their star wide receiver Michael Thomas may not be able to join them due to a reoccurring high ankle sprain.

During Week 1 against Tampa Bay, Thomas, who previously set the league’s single-season receptions record last year, sustained the injury.

Nevertheless, the Saints opted not to put him on injured reserve, which implies that he might be able to play on Sunday at Ford Field.

Uncertainty surrounds the availability of tight end Jared Cook and guard Andrus Peat for Sunday’s game, as both players sustained injuries on Sunday night.
