2022 Detroit Lions futures odds – Syndication Server

With new QB Jared Goff, the Detroit Lions kicked off 2021 with 8 straight losses. They Lions tied their next game and lost 2 more before finally getting a victory in their 12th game of the season. They did finish 3-13-1, winning 3 of their last 6.

Below, we look at the Detroit Lions’ 2022 NFL futures odds – including win total, division, conference and Super Bowl odds at Tipico Sportsbook – with best bet suggestions among our NFL picks and predictions.

The Lions had 2 first-round picks in the recent NFL Draft. They selected Michigan DE Aidan Hutchinson with the second-overall pick and Alabama WR Jameson Williams at No. 12.

With 2020 third-overall pick CB Jeff Okudah (Ohio State) back as well, the trio should help Detroit improve upon their recent 3-win season.

Detroit has never won the NFC North and hasn’t won a division title since 1993 when they were in the NFC Central. They last made the playoffs 6 seasons ago in 2016-17.

Detroit Lions’ 2022 win total: Best bet

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday, May 17 at 4:41 a.m. ET.

Over/Under: 6.5 (O: +125 | U: -160)

The Lions lost 6 one-score games last season. Considering the improved weapons they’ll have both defensively and offensively, Goff is going to have all he needs to succeed.

The offensive line should be capable behind 2021 first-round pick T Penei Sewell (7th overall out of Oregon). Their defense will get a much-needed boost from Okudah and Hutchinson, hopefully improving upon their 31st-most points given up last season.

Couple the two together, and I like Detroit to manage 7 wins, especially at plus-money value. Also, the Lions have the fifth-easiest schedule. They should be able to win some close games.

Given how hard they played last season when clearly out of the playoff picture should give bettors hope that even if they start off poorly this ticket could be cashed.

For a small wager, BACK LIONS OVER 6.5 WINS (+125).

Detroit Lions’ 2022 Super Bowl odds

Odds: +10000 (bet $100 to win $10,000)

Detroit is tied with the second-longest odds to win it all. The Bills (+600) are the favorites, followed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+700).

At +10000, Detroit has an implied probability of winning the Super Bowl of 0.99% or 100/1 fractional odds. The Houston Texans have the longest odds at +20000.

I would not suggest backing the Lions (+10000) to win the Super Bowl.

Detroit Lions’ 2022 playoff odds

Will Lions make the playoffs: Yes +425 | No -599

The NFC may not be quite at the level of the AFC, but predicting the Lions to make a run is relatively ludicrous. However, I like the foundation they’re building, and they have a solid core.

The +425 payout just isn’t quite enough for me to take a gamble, especially as teams like the Vikings, Arizona Cardinals, and Eagles will also be making a run for those 3 Wild Card spots.

Odds to win NFC North Division

Chicago Bears +900 (bet $100 to win $900)
Detroit Lions +1000 (bet $100 to win $1,000)
Green Bay Packers -180 (bet $180 to win $100)
Minnesota Vikings +270 (bet $100 to win $270)

Detroit’s implied probability of winning the NFC North is 9.09% or 10/1 fractional odds. The Packers and then Vikings are the only threats here, and no one else will likely come too close.

PASS.

Odds to win NFC

Odds: +5000 (bet $100 to win $5000)

The Lions aren’t expected to have much a chance, and for this team, it’s still a bit earlier to predict Detroit could make a dark-horse run.

I would PASS here and check back in for this roster to have some potential to make a run in a few seasons as WRs Amon-Ra St. Brown and Williams continue to and also start to find their footing in the NFL.

PASS on the Lions (+5000) to win the NFC.
