Can you please rewrite the given sentence or provide more context?

It appears that the brief break from anything negative concerning the Detroit Lions, lasting for only a week, was indeed just that.

Although a reprieve offers some relief, it falls short of being substantial.

After securing a final-play victory against the Minnesota Vikings and finally earning a win, the struggling Lions team suffered a crushing 38-10 defeat at the hands of the Denver Broncos this past Sunday.

Furthermore, the excitement for a stronger offensive display was dampened by the lackluster performance witnessed in your Lions NFL prop bets last weekend.

Despite their overall record of 1-11-1, the Lions have been performing well in the Michigan sports betting market when it comes to covering the spread. They have a record of 8-5 against the spread, even after their disappointing performance in Week 14.

Throughout the week, we continuously assess the progress of player goals for season-long NFL prop bets.

We’re revisiting the concrete season-long bets, such as division, conference, and win totals, although the outcome of these bets is already predictable.

Following the Arizona Cardinals’ loss to the Los Angeles Rams, who were led by former Detroit player Matthew Stafford, the Lions will host them in their next game before the upcoming update.

Don’t forget, each week in a 17-game season now represents approximately 5.9% of your total season. Therefore, with 13 Lions games completed, we have reached around 76.5% of the campaign.

Detroit Lions vs. Arizona Cardinals: Week 15 NFL Odds

Season-long BetMGM props

  • The Detroit Lions have been officially eliminated from playoff contention, so there is no chance of them making the playoffs.
  • The charts display scaled win totals ranging from 1.5 (over -1600, under +800) to 9.5 (over +1100, under -3000). Just a month ago, I had a belief that the Lions could possibly win at least four games. However, now the under 1.5 mark at +800 seems to be a challenging outcome.
  • The regular-season totals are precise, with odds ranging from +450 (applicable to either 4 or 5) to +100000 (applicable to 15, 16, or 17) — However, the likelihood of hitting the four or five mark has been absent for quite some time.
  • The stage of elimination odds are as follows: Miss playoffs (-1100), lose wild card (+1000), lose divisional (+1600), lose NFC title game (+10000), lose the Super Bowl (+15000), win the Super Bowl (+25000). The clear frontrunner is expected to win big.
  • During the Week of Lions’ initial victory and defeat, the first game in Week 1 resulted in an impressive -350 return in various markets. However, those who bet on the Vikings rematch were rewarded with a substantial payout, making it a noteworthy story.
  • The Lions have the potential to either begin with a 4-0 or 0-4 record, or achieve a remarkable 6-0 or disappointing 0-6 start. Regardless of the outcome, there are numerous opportunities for financial gains among those on the losing side.
  • The +400 market didn’t work out as the first victory came against an NFC North opponent, while winning all six division games (+25000) remains the desired outcome.
  • To secure victory, you must triumph in every home or road game with a profit of +100000 each. However, failing to do so will result in losses of +1600 for home games and +400 for road games. The upcoming challenges in the +400 market are limited to just two remaining obstacles, namely the matches at Atlanta and Seattle, which could potentially lead to triumph.
  • Thanks to Detroit, that Steelers game turned this hit-and-hope into a smash hit, but will the game end in a tie? (with odds of +1600 for Yes)

Detroit Lions DraftKings special prop bets

DraftKings Sportsbook not only provides standard team futures but also offers a variety of unique regular-season betting markets and parlay combinations.

D’Andre Swift over 51.5 receptions AND Breshad Perriman (now with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) over 740.5 receiving yards, +250

Swift had 56 receptions, while Perriman accumulated 82 yards.

Notably, Brashad Perriman secured the game-deciding touchdown during overtime for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the previous week. However, he will not surpass the required total for this bet to be successful.

Jamaal Williams over 725.5 rushing yards AND T.J. Hockenson over 5.5 receiving touchdowns, +225

Williams had a total of 459 yards, while Hockenson managed to score 4 touchdowns.

It is worth mentioning that the Swift injury caught some attention in comparison to Williams’ overall performance. However, Williams also faced a setback last week as he was placed on the COVID-19 list and was unable to play. Consequently, it was an extremely challenging week for the running back group.

Jared Goff over 21.5 touchdown passes AND D’Andre Swift over 7.5 rushing touchdowns AND T.J. Hockenson over 775.5 receiving yards, +550

Goff threw for 14 touchdowns, Swift scored 4 touchdowns, and Hockenson gained 583 yards.

Romeo Okwara over 8.5 sacks AND Amon-Ra St. Brown over 500.5 receiving yards, +275

Okwara recorded 1 sack, while St. Brown accumulated 511 yards.

It should be noted that Okwara’s season came to an abrupt end in Week 4 against the Bears due to a torn Achilles tendon, which also affected the potential outcome of this bet.

Lions-focused DraftKings match prop bets

In addition, DraftKings offered several head-to-head wagers featuring players from the Lions team.

More passing yards: Jared Goff (-150) vs. Ryan Fitzpatrick (+115)

Goff has thrown for 2,791 yards, while Fitzpatrick has only managed to throw for 13 yards.

It is important to mention that Ryan Fitzpatrick will be undergoing hip surgery, leading to the end of his season. Consequently, those who placed bets on Goff can consider themselves victorious.

More passing touchdowns: Jared Goff (-110) vs. Zach Wilson (-120)

Goff has scored 14 touchdowns, while Wilson has only scored 6 touchdowns.

It is worth mentioning that Goff’s single touchdown in the previous week’s game against Denver surpassed Wilson’s zero touchdowns against the New Orleans Saints. Therefore, the advantage in this low-scoring contest continues to widen.

More rushing yards: D’Andre Swift (-165) vs. Mike Davis (+120)

Swift has accumulated 555 yards, while Davis has managed to acquire 382 yards.

It is worth mentioning that Swift had assumed control in the past few weeks, but his injury raises more uncertainty in this wager than anticipated.

More rushing touchdowns: D’Andre Swift (-130) vs. David Montgomery (+100)

Swift and Montgomery both scored 4 touchdowns each.

It is worth mentioning that the uncertainty surrounding Swift remains unchanged. However, it is important to note that Montgomery did not manage to score on the ground in the intense game last Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers, bringing a temporary sense of relief.
