Following their victory in two out of three games, the Lions found themselves as slight underdogs by 4.5 points in their Week 16 clash against the Atlanta Falcons as the hosts (although BetRivers Sportsbook adjusted the odds to 5 points on Monday).

Nevertheless, as Sunday’s game approached and Jared Goff was declared unfit to play, the line at Michigan sportsbooks skyrocketed to 7 points.

The Falcons (6-8) and Lions (2-11-1) had an over/under set at 42.5 points. However, there was a slight difference on Sunday morning, with PointsBet Sportsbook setting it at 43 points.

Detroit Lions at Atlanta Falcons: NFL Week 16 Odds

Lions earn another victory by dominating Arizona

On Sunday at Ford Field, the Lions achieved a satisfying 30-12 triumph over the Arizona Cardinals.

In another impressive display, quarterback Jared Goff once again showcased his legitimate talent, effectively overcoming the struggles he faced in the first half of the season. He completed 21 out of 26 passes with a total of 216 yards and three touchdowns.

Craig Reynolds, the running back, once again displayed his prowess on the field as he achieved another remarkable performance. With 112 yards gained on 26 carries, Reynolds showcased his exceptional skills and contributed significantly to his team’s success.

The Detroit team has emerged as one of the top performers in the NFL, boasting an impressive 9-5 record against the spread this season.

However, coach Dan Campbell’s team hasn’t been able to translate their efforts into tangible victories in real-life games. Their biggest achievement this season seems to be their position in the upcoming NFL Draft.

Following their victory on Sunday, the Lions have secured the second position for the NFL Draft. Meanwhile, Jacksonville currently holds the top spot with a record of 2-12.

Host Falcons desperate for a win as playoff hopes fade

After suffering a 31-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Atlanta’s playoff hopes are hanging by a thread.

After the setback, Atlanta found themselves in the 11th position in the NFC playoff race, requiring them to surpass several teams in order to secure a spot in the expanded seven-team conference playoff field.

Matt Ryan, a quarterback with one of the longest tenures in the league, continues to lead the team. So far this season, he has accumulated 3,104 passing yards, with 17 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.

In Sunday’s defeat, the Falcons struggled to gain momentum in their rushing game, with Mike Davis taking the lead. Davis managed to accumulate only 21 yards on six carries. Interestingly, Davis is currently pitted against the injured D’Andre Swift in various NFL prop bets that we regularly cover throughout the season.

In such a volatile time, it is crucial for bettors to closely monitor the injury report and stay updated on COVID-19 illness developments throughout the week. These factors have the potential to greatly impact betting figures.
