The Lions pulverized the Jaguars on Sunday. Like they had already pulverized the Cowboys or the Titans. And as the Chiefs are no longer undefeated, the cards seem reshuffled for the bookmakers.
Thus, Detroit is now the favorite team of American online betting sites for the 2024-25 NFL title. And it's the same thing in France. At our partner Unibet (sponsored link) their odds for the title are 5. This is the lowest in the entire league.
This is the first time in the history of the Detroit franchise that it finds itself propelled to the rank of favorite for the title.
Behind, we find the Kansas City Chiefs (5.25), Buffalo Bills (7.50), Baltimore Ravens (8.50) and Philadelphia Eagles (8.50).
At the other end of the spectrum, we inevitably find the teams at the bottom of the ranking, who have almost no chance of reaching the playoffs. The Cleveland Browns and Las Vegas Raiders odds are at…1251.
Among those who still dream of the playoffs, we can note the Bengals (71), Buccaneers (126) or Colts (151).
Lions on fire
The Lions have a record of nine wins and one loss. They score 33.6 points per game, the best average in the NFL. They concede an average of 17.7 points per game, which makes them the fifth best defense in the league.
With an ultra-complete attack and a defense that is holding up despite Aidan Hutchinson's injury, here they are in a role that they have never known in their history: that of favorite.
