5 Detroit Lions prop bets to make in Week 6
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 4:10 p.m. ET.
Kenny Golladay to score a TD (+100)
Golladay has been limited to only two games this season, but he has scored twice in that limited action. He has caught 10 passes for 119 yards this year and should be good for one touchdown this weekend.
Jacksonville ranks 24th in points allowed and 28th in passing yards surrendered, so the secondary isn’t exactly playing well.
Lions to score OVER 24.5 points (-200)
The Lions have scored between 21 and 29 points in each game this season, with two going Under 24.5 and two Over that number. Their final total on Sunday will be over 24.5, however, going up against a bad Jacksonville defense.
QBs Matthew Stafford and Gardner Minshew could turn this one into somewhat of a shootout as neither defense is playing well at the moment.

Shortest TD OVER 1.5 yards (-110)
This is a toss-up. Ultimately, I think the shortest touchdown will come from beyond the 1-yard line, with both of these teams turning to their passing attacks often.
This bet will require some luck, but what wager doesn’t?
Adrian Peterson to score Lions’ first TD (+700)
At +700, Peterson is a great value to score the Lions’ first touchdown. He has one already this season, which is the same number of rushing touchdowns as teammates Kerryon Johnson and D’Andre Swift.
Don’t make this one a big wager, but the value is too good to pass up.
Field goals made by Lions OVER 1.5 (-200)
The Lions have not been good in the red zone this season, leading to a lot of field-goal attempts by PK Matt Prater. He’s attempted nine already this season, making seven of them.
He’ll make at least two Sunday afternoon with Detroit stalling in the red area offensively.
