Why Detroit Lions are a good bet +7?

Technically, the Detroit Lions are undefeated, but know they allowed the Kyler Murray led Arizona Cardinals to tie them in Week 1. Detroit was up 17-3 at halftime. The Cardinals rallied with 18 points in the fourth quarter for the victory.In Week 2, head coach Matt Patricia left nothing for chance. His defense was exceptional when holding the Chargers to only 10 points. If Patricia could get his defense to step it up against the L.A. Chargers, why couldn’t he get it to step up against the Philadelphia Eagles?

Detroit Lions vs Philadelphia Eagles Final NFL Betting Analysis

The Philadelphia Eagles got a ton of press during the preseason. Why not? Philly won the Super Bowl in 2017. They made the playoffs last season and, on paper, they look like one of the top teams in the NFC.

However, they’ve got a serious flaw that could end up costing them this season. The Eagles can’t stop the pass. Washington’s Case Keenum torched them for 380 yards and 3 touchdowns. Although they picked off Matt Ryan 3 times, Ice threw for 320 yards and 3 TDs.

On Sunday, they face yet another top quarterback in Matthew Stafford. Stafford has some weapons to throw the football too. If the Lions can get Kerryon Johnson, their second year running back, involved in the passing game, they’ll have a shot to win this one straight up. Taking the points makes the most sense.
