The Buffalo Bills made it within one game of the Super Bowl last season and seek to unseat the two-time defending AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs. Their quest begins this week in their preseason opener against the Detroit Lions.
Meanwhile, the Lions will give QB Jared Goff his unofficial debut with the team. Goff was acquired from the Los Angeles Rams in the trade that sent QB Matthew Stafford to California.
This preseason opener for both teams will kick off Friday night at 7 p.m. ET at Ford Field in Detroit. Below, we look at the Bills at Lions odds and lines.

The Lions, at +110 odds, have an implied 46.72% chance of winning, or 11/10 fractional odds. If Detroit wins outright or loses by less than a field goal, a Lions +2.5 (-105) ATS bet wins.
The Bills (-130) have an implied 57.08% chance of beating the Lions, or 100/133 fractional odds. Buffalo must win by at least three points for a Bills -2.5 (-115) ATS ticket to cash.
There would need to be at least 37 points scored Friday for an OVER 36.5 (-125) ticket to cash, while a combined point total of 36 or fewer points is a win for the Under (+100).
