The Detroit Lions (1-3) visit the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-4) Sunday for a Week 6 game at TIAA Bank Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we take a look at the early Week 6 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
Detroit went into its Week 5 off of a 35-29 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 4. Through four games, it hasn’t been the bounce-back season QB Matthew Stafford or the Lions were hoping for as Stafford is ranked 22nd in QBR, 29th in completion percentage and 18th in yards per attempt. It’s been worse for head coach Matt Patricia’s defense which is ranked 28th in opponent yards per play, last in rushing yards allowed per game and 29th in points allowed (31.8).
The Jaguars lost 30-14 as 6.5-point dogs in their Week 5 contest at the Houston Texans. Jacksonville faltered because its defense was gashed for 8.4 yards per play and two missed field goals in the first half from now released PK Stephen Hauschka. Jacksonville’s four-game losing streak includes three straight losses to then-winless teams.
