Rams ML (+158) at Caesars Sportsbook

As impressive as the Lions are, this Rams offense goes off tonight. That is because they have one of the best units in the league when healthy, which will be the case tonight. Expect Kyren Williams to do enough against a stout Lions’ run defense to help open up the passing game, where the real damage will be done.

The Lions have a young secondary and allowed the sixth-most passing yards per game last season. That will be a problem with Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. Combine that with former Lion Matthew Stafford returning to his old stomping grounds, and you have a recipe for some offensive fireworks.

Matthew Stafford Over 1.5 Passing TDs (-139) at Caesars Sportsbook

As we mentioned above, we are very high on this Rams offense. Nacua and Kupp are arguably the best receiving duo in football. While Nacua has been dealing with an injury, he is on track to play in Sunday night’s game. The Lions don’t have the weapons to stop both stars, and it will lead to multiple passing touchdowns.

Stafford remains one of the better quarterbacks in the league, and he will be able to find both receivers throughout the game. He will also benefit from playing in the familiar Ford Field, where he will have a chance to showcase his talent one last time.

Jahmyr Gibbs Over 52.5 Rush Yards (-121) at Caesars Sportsbook

The Lions took Gibbs with their first-round pick last season, and he delivered in a major way. The 22-year-old rushed for 945 yards and scored ten touchdowns, averaging an impressive 5.2 YPC. Those are incredible numbers for a rookie who only averaged 12.1 carries per game. 

Gibbs enters this season with a ton of confidence as well as a season of experience. While he will likely still share some carries with David Montgomery, the Lions will give Gibbs the share of carries. While the running back tweaked his hamstring during the preseason, he confirmed he feels almost 100% heading into this game.

Jared Goff Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (-148) at Caesars Sportsbook

The Rams have a talented secondary, but they won’t have the benefit of Aaron Donald on the defensive line. His absence will be apparent on Sunday night, allowing Jared Goff more time to work in the pocket. That is a recipe for a big night through the air.

On top of Goff’s talent and Donald’s absence, the Lions will also be working from behind. They’ll have to keep up with the electric Rams offense, so they must work through the air. Considering all the impressive weapons Goff has to work with, this will be an easy bet to cover this weekend.
