As the 2022 NFL Season approaches, it is widely recognized among Michigan sports bettors that the Detroit Lions are not expected to achieve significant success.
The Lions’ over/under win total is an area worth considering for bettors, given their long odds in the Super Bowl, NFC, and NFC North futures markets.
Compared to other futures markets, the odds for an over/under bet are considerably balanced. This type of wager is simple and guarantees an intriguing Detroit Lions season, regardless of their performance.
Detroit Lions over/under win total odds
Most sportsbooks have set the over/under for the Detroit Lions at 6.5 wins for the upcoming 2022 season.
This implies that you have the option to place a bet on whether you believe Detroit will surpass or fall short of that specific number.
At present, the odds for the Lions are consistent across DraftKings Sportsbook MI, FanDuel Sportsbook MI, and BetMGM Michigan.
The odds for over 6.5 are -125, whereas under 6.5 is +105. In PointsBet Sportsbook MI, the over 6.5 odds are -134, while the under is +115.
How over/under win totals work
The 2022 season brings with it NFL odds for the win total of each team.
The range of scores varies from a minimum of 4.5 (Houston Texans) to a maximum of 11.5 (Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Buffalo Bills).
The odds for each option are represented by their respective moneylines. In the case of the Lions, the sportsbook finds the over’s odds to be more favorable.
If you bet on the over and it wins, your winnings would be slightly lower compared to betting on the under and it winning.
To make a win total bet, simply access your designated sportsbook and locate the win total market.
Next, select the bet you desire to make by clicking either on the over or under option, and proceed to place your bet. By considering the odds, you can determine the potential winnings you can earn from a correct choice.
If the Lions win, a $100 bet on the over at -125 would yield a total payout of $180, including the original bet and $80 in winnings. Conversely, a $100 bet on the under would result in a payout of $205, consisting of the original bet and $105 in winnings.
Certain sportsbooks may provide alternative win total odds, allowing you to choose from a wider range of numbers. Adjusting the total up or down will naturally influence the associated moneyline odds for both the over and under bets.
An instance is when BetRivers Sportsbook MI sets the Lions’ game total at 5.5. Nonetheless, the over option has a moneyline of -240, whereas the under option is offered at a +190 line.
Detroit Lions win total history
In recent years, the Detroit Lions have struggled to secure victories.
In addition, it is worth noting that the Detroit Lions have not had impressive odds to start with. Despite the projections indicating a low number of wins, the Lions have not managed to exceed expectations since 2017.
| Season | Win Total Odds | Final Record | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 4.5 | 3-13-1 | -1.5 |
| 2020 | 7 | 5-11 | -2 |
| 2019 | 6.5 | 3-12-1 | -3.5 |
| 2018 | 7.5 | 6-10 | -1.5 |
| 2017 | 7.5 | 9-7 | +1.5 |
Sports bettors are heavily favoring the Lions to surpass 6.5 wins this year, making it the most popular win total ticket at BetMGM. Currently, 91% of the tickets and 87% of the handle are being placed on the over for the Lions.
As of now, the Lions hold the status of being favored in just three out of their 17 games scheduled for the 2022 season.
