The Detroit Lions struggled in 2020, finishing with a 5-11 record and a top-10 pick in the 2021 NFL draft. They are trying to reload and rebuild in 2021. Below, we look at the Detroit Lions 2022 Super Bowl 56 odds, with NFL futures picks and predictions.
Detroit finished with a losing record for the third straight season. After starting 3-3 the Lions won only two of their last 10 games. It led to the firing of head coach Matt Patricia and the hiring of Dan Campbell.
They have a new coaching staff and a new starting quarterback. They aren’t exactly rebuilding but aren’t expected to be very competitive in the NFC or the NFC North.

Lions’ offseason recap
Head coach Matt Patricia was fired during the season and replaced by Darrell Bevell. The Lions hired Campbell this offseason and then traded longtime starting QB Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams for quarterback Jared Goff and draft picks.
In free agency, they added several low-end veterans in RB Jamal Williams, WR Breshad Perriman and LB Alex Anzalone, among others. They traded for DT Michael Brockers and allowed WR Kenny Golladay to sign with the New York Giants.
In the NFL draft, they bolstered the offensive line with OT Penei Sewell with the seventh overall pick. They added a pair of defensive linemen on Day 2 of the draft, staying consistent with Campbell’s tough mentality for the team.

Detroit Lions’ Super Bowl 56 and 2021 NFL futures picks
The Lions are expected to be one of the worst teams in the league in 2021. They might end up being a tough, physical team, but there is almost no chance of them winning their division, the NFC or the Super Bowl.
If you are looking for two bets to make, go with the super chalky -700 (bet $100, win $14.29) that the Lions WILL NOT make the playoffs, even though there is almost no value.
As for their win total, go with UNDER 5 WINS (-110) (bet $100, win $90.91). They will likely be in contention for the No. 1 pick in the draft, which will allow them to draft their eventual replacement for Goff at quarterback.
