The Detroit Lions open Week 16 as road favorites over the Carolina Panthers.

’ improbable run continues, and they have now balanced their season record at 7-7 after going on a 6-1 win streak. Next up for them is a trip to Charlotte, North Carolina to take on the Carolina Panthers (+3), who despite a 5-9 record, are just one game back in the NFC South.

With both teams still in the hunt for a spot in the playoffs—Lions targeting the Wild Card round, while it’s division or bust for the Panthers—the good folks over at DraftKings Sportsbook have set the opening betting line and are favoring the Lions by 3 points.
