At first look, bettors may think there’s something wrong with the betting lines on Sunday’s Detroit Lions game against the Green Bay Packers. The Lions enter as only a slight underdog, despite taking on the best team in the NFC.
Under normal circumstances, the Lions would be a much larger underdog, but with the Packers having already secured a first-round bye and homefield advantage for the playoffs, there’s a strong possibility they will rest several key players.
Those starters who do play Sunday may only see limited action, meaning there’s a real chance the Lions could win the game outright.
