The odds of the Detroit Lions have remained steady throughout the season. Additionally, oddsmakers predict that a familiar individual will occupy a familiar role.

On Sunday, in their Week 7 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, the Lions will once again enter as underdogs for the seventh consecutive week this season.

The upcoming encounter promises to be an eagerly awaited rematch, featuring former Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, who has been leading the Rams to great success in the early season.

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Detroit Lions are listed as 15.5-point underdogs in their game against the Rams. DraftKings, on the other hand, has the spread set at 14.5 points for the game. The game is scheduled to start at 4:05 p.m. ET at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood.

According to the same sportsbooks, the game has a point total set at 50.5 for the over/under.

During the summer, the Lions were considered underdogs by 13.5 points for the game. However, the teams have taken separate paths since that time.

Matthew Stafford spent 12 seasons in Detroit with mixed results

Stafford’s time with the Lions was perplexing.

His talent and production cannot be denied. As the first pick of Georgia in 2009, Stafford managed to revive a struggling franchise, bringing them back to respectability on multiple occasions.

However, staying true to the Lions’ style, there were numerous disappointments and few triumphs. Stafford failed to secure a victory in any of the three playoff games he played for the Lions and was unable to clinch the NFC North division title.

While Stafford can certainly be held accountable for that, it’s worth noting that no other quarterback has managed to achieve long-term success in Detroit for many years. Therefore, it might be argued that playing quarterback for the Honolulu blue and silver team is simply an unfair challenge.

Stafford’s record stood at 74-90-1 during his 12 regular seasons with Detroit, but since joining the Rams, he has achieved an impressive 5-1 record.

Lions lose another one in 34-11 drubbing to Cincinnati

After a tough 34-11 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, the Detroit Lions now find themselves as the only team in the NFL without a win this season.

The score indicated a closer game than it actually was, as the game was a complete rout from beginning to end.

Although Jared Goff, the Lions’ quarterback, is struggling to meet the demands of his position, Detroit does not possess a superior alternative at the moment.

In the away game, Joe Burrow, the Bengals’ quarterback in his second year, made an impact by throwing three touchdown passes for his team’s victory.

Rams are one of the success stories of the early NFL season

On Sunday, the Rams continued their winning streak with a dominant 38-11 victory over the New York Giants, proving that the good times were still rolling for them.

Stafford completed four touchdown passes while the Rams defense compelled four turnovers.

The ex-Lions quarterback completed 22 out of 28 passes, accumulating 251 yards and one interception.
