Philadelphia Eagles at Detroit Lions odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Philadelphia Eagles at Detroit Lions Week 1 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Philadelphia Eagles take on the Detroit Lions to open up each team’s 2022 season. Kickoff is 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Eagles vs. Lions odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Eagles enter the season with high hopes for QB Jalen Hurts. The dual-threat quarterback lost WR Jalen Reagor in a trade to the Minnesota Vikings, but picked up WR A.J. Brown in a trade with the Tennessee Titans. Week 1 will be the opening test to see if Hurts and Brown have the desired chemistry that the front office expected when making the moves.

On defense, the Eagles will hope to stop the run with 1st-round pick DE Jordan Davis. Alongside CB Darius Slay, the Eagles expect the addition of CB James Bradberry will help prevent opposing offenses from gaining big yards through the air.

For the Lions, all eyes will be on the 1st pick of the NFL Draft — DE Aidan Hutchinson, who is being counted on to improve a defense that allowed 110 rushing yards per game in 2021.

On the offensive side of the ball, the team and coach Dan Campbell have complete faith in QB Jared Goff. Watch for Goff to target his top WRs Amon-Ra St. Brown and D.J. Chark.

The stars of the 2022 HBO series “Hard Knocks” will hope for an improved season after finishing 3-13-1 last season, 2nd-worst in the league.

Eagles at Lions picks and predictions

Prediction

Eagles 31, Lions 20

Money line

PASS.

The value is not there for the return on investment.

Against the spread

BET EAGLES -5.5 (-108).

The Eagles are a strong contender for the NFC East title. They look to start the season off with a big win against a team that is coming off a brutal season.

Philadelphia is led by a dual-threat quarterback who is primed for a huge season, and it is tough to envision Detroit being ready for his speed.

The Lions have made improvements, but it will not be enough to stay within a touchdown in this game. Detroit is still a few years away from being true playoff contenders.

The Eagles are 5-2-1 in their last 8 games ATS as a favorite.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 48.5 (-108).

Hurts and the rest of the Eagles offense should be firing on all cylinders Sunday. They had an impressive offseason and will hope to prove why they are potential Super Bowl contenders.

In the last 8 meetings between these teams the over is 8-0 and in the last 4 meetings in Detroit the over is 4-0.

Expect an offensive-heavy game, especially with the Eagles likely looking to pick up the tempo to start the season.

Philadelphia Eagles at Detroit Lions odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Philadelphia Eagles at Detroit Lions Week 8 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Philadelphia Eagles (2-5) hope to snap their two-game losing skid as they face the winless Detroit Lions (0-7). Kickoff from Ford Field Below, we look at the Eagles vs. Lions odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Eagles have lost two straight and five of their last six games. They have allowed opponents to score over 30 points three times and over 40 twice. QB Jalen Hurts has 10 touchdown passes and 5 rushing touchdowns, and he has been intercepted 4 times.

The winless Lions are not particularly good on either side of the ball. They are 28ths in scoring at 18.3 points per game, 25th in points allowed at 28.6 per game and have turned the ball over multiple times in four of their seven games.

QB Jared Goff has still never won a game a starter with a head coach other than Sean McVay. He went winless his rookie season, the year before McVay was hired by the Los Angeles Rams, and is winless since the trade to the Lions.

Eagles at Lions odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Eagle 20, Lions 17

Money line

There isn’t any real reason to think that the Lions are suddenly going to win a game. They will at some point, however, not having their two top running backs at 100% is not ideal, especially when the Lions already struggle offensively.

The Eagles aren’t exactly a sure bet on the money line, but they have had a challenging schedule so far. They’ve beaten the supposed lesser opponents on their schedule (Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers).

I LEAN EAGLES (-190).

Against the spread

While I lean toward the Eagles winning, I think it will be close. Philly is 3-4 ATS and the Lions are 4-3 ATS.

The Lions have three one-score losses, two of them by only two points each.

It will stay within a field goal. Take the LIONS +3.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Eagles have scored at least 30 points twice this season, but they have averaged 19.4 points in the other five games.

The Lions have not scored more than 20 in a game since Week 1.

Take UNDER 48.5 (-110).

Underdog Corner: 3 best NFL picks and predictions for Week 8

Assessing the NFL betting odds and lines for Week 8, with three predictions and picks for the best underdog bets to make.

Forgive the Halloween pun, but it’s scary how well things have gone here in Underdog Corner this season.
Week 7 featured our sixth winning week and third 3-0 card of the season as the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts won outright Sunday, and the Seattle Seahawks covered at home Monday night. That brings our season against-the-spread record to 16-5 with 13 of those underdog selections winning outright.
It’s scary because we know regression could start pulling us back to the mean at any time, but hopefully it doesn’t start with…

NFL underdog predictions: Week 8

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 7:00 a.m. ET.

Detroit Lions +3.5 (-112) vs. Philadelphia Eagles

The 0-7 Lions are the only team still searching for its first win, but coach Dan Campbell’s crew has certainly been feisty, posting a 4-3 ATS record so far.

Jalen Hurts and the Eagles, meanwhile, have been less than inspiring at 2-5 overall and 3-4 ATS, and this is a prime opportunity for the Lions to break into the win column.

But even if it’s yet another heartbreaker for Detroit via a last-second field goal, we’ll still be good getting the 3.5 points.

Houston Texans +14.5 (-115) vs. Los Angeles Rams

So why would we side with a 1-6 team that has dropped six straight and averaged a league-worst 7.8 points per game over its last five outings?

It’s certainly far from comfortable with the opponent being the 6-1 Rams and NFL double-digit favorites also having covered at an 8-3 clip so far this season.

However, veteran QB Tyrod Taylor should be back for the Texans this week, sending overmatched rookie Davis Mills back to the bench, and that should be enough for Houston to get its third cover in four home games with the two-TD-plus cushion.

New Orleans Saints +5.5 (-108) vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

We went against the Saints this past Monday night, and while they still prevailed 13-10 in Seattle, they didn’t get the cover as you could almost sense they were looking past Geno Smith and the slumping Seahawks and ahead to Sunday’s Big Easy visit from Tom Brady and the defending world champs.

The Saints did sweep the regular-season series last season, posting 34-23 and 38-3 wins, but the Bucs took full advantage of four New Orleans turnovers in the divisional-round playoff rubber match to advance with a 30-20 road win.

If Jameis Winston and Co. can avoid those costly mistakes Sunday, they’ll have a decent shot at upsetting the 6-1 Bucs, who have struggled at times defensively and are actually below .500 (3-4) ATS.
