The Detroit Lions (4-6) are coming off a frustrating Week 11 shoutout loss to the Carolina Panthers, while the Houston Texans (3-7) took care of business against the New England Patriots and have won two of their last three games.
The Lions have been very unpredictable this season, constantly teetering between clutch performances and embarrassing losses, while the Texans appear to be trending up. That’s likely why the good folks over at BetMGM are giving the Texans an early two and a half-point edge, despite having to travel to Detroit for the Thanksgiving showcase.
With this being a nationally televised game, BetMGM has a ton of various bet lines to wager on, but here’s a look at the basic concepts most would be interested in, including the Moneyline, points spread, over/under, and total Lions points scored.
