There is a great deal of optimism surrounding the Detroit Lions as they embark on the 2022 NFL Season.
However, their optimism will face an immediate challenge as they prepare to host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
Michigan sports bettors should have their attention solely on the quarterbacks of both teams for this game.
Will Jared Goff be able to capitalize on the hype surrounding his preseason performance? Can Jalen Hurts effectively utilize his running abilities to dismantle the Detroit defense?

Lions vs. Eagles Prop Odds: Jared Goff Completions
In 2022, the Lions are filled with optimism as they aim to make significant progress. For this to materialize, Goff must make significant improvements compared to his performance in 2021.
In a span of 14 games, Goff managed to accumulate 3,245 passing yards and 19 touchdowns, but also committed eight interceptions. Despite completing 67.2% of his passes, his average distance gained per attempt was a mere 6.6 yards.
The Lions appear poised to depend on the run game as their primary strategy for setting up play-action passing, under the guidance of newly appointed offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.
Towards the end of 2021, Dan Campbell appeared to have found an offensive system that suited Goff’s style better. Given that Goff isn’t known for having a powerful arm, we can anticipate a return to a short-yardage passing game in 2022. This indicates that Goff may prioritize quantity of completions rather than quality.
According to DraftKings Sportsbook MI, the current odds for Sunday’s game suggest that Goff of the Detroit Lions is expected to complete around 23.5 passes. The over option has odds of -105, whereas the under option is listed at -125.
Former Lion Darius Slay leads the Eagles’ defense, which ranked 11th in the NFL in pass defense (220.9 ypg), as they prepare to face him on Sunday.
The Detroit Lions are set to reveal their offense against the Philadelphia Eagles. They will face a familiar opponent in Darius Slay, who has proven to be a playmaker against Detroit in the past. Quarterback Jared Goff will have the advantage of having more weapons at his disposal. Although the team still prioritizes the running game, it is predicted that Goff will complete 20-23 passes against the Eagles. However, if he is forced to rely heavily on passing, it could indicate that the Lions are behind in the opening game, according to John Maakaron from All Lions.
Goff’s performance in the previous year’s defeat against Philly was notable. He managed to complete 25 out of 34 passes, accumulating a total of 222 yards. However, due to the team continuously being behind on the scoreboard, Goff was compelled to rely heavily on passing plays, which may not have been Detroit’s ideal strategy.
In 2021, Detroit emerged victorious with Goff showcasing his skills. In two of these wins, Goff successfully completed 21 passes, while in another, he completed 25. Overall, Goff achieved a minimum of 24 completed passes in seven out of the 14 games he played.
Lions vs. Eagles Prop Odds: Jalen Hurts Rushing Yards
The Lions have clearly struggled in the past year when it comes to containing rushing quarterbacks.
The upcoming 2022 season will immediately put our containment skills to the test as we strive to rein in the talented Jalen Hurts.
In the 2021 meeting, Hurts managed to accumulate 71 rushing yards on seven attempts, all while making only 14 passes.
Last season, the Lions allowed Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson to accumulate 58 rushing yards, while in the preseason opener, they surrendered 59 yards to Atlanta’s Desmond Ridder.
In Sunday’s game, Fanduel Sportsbook MI has set the over/under for Hurts’ rushing yards at 46.5. Additionally, they have identified him as the top favorite to score a non-passing touchdown, with odds of +115 for him to do so in the game.
In order to prevent Hurts from gaining significant yardage on the ground, similar to his performance in 2021, Detroit’s defensive front must exhibit strong containment.
According to Maakaron, although Detroit lacks a mobile quarterback like Jalen Hurts, the coaching staff will still train the team to minimize his impact. The main goal will be to keep Hurts confined in the pocket, especially with a stronger defensive line. Maakaron anticipates that Hurts will accumulate less than 70 rushing yards against Detroit’s defense, as Aidan Hutchinson, Charles Harris, Alim McNeill, and Austin Bryant will be working hard to limit his effectiveness during Sunday’s game.
During the year 2021, Hurts achieved a total of nine games in which he managed to accumulate a minimum of 47 rushing yards, while in three of those games, he surpassed the milestone of 70 rushing yards.
