Detroit Lions NFL Betting Lines

NFL Betting Lines on Detroit showed that the Lions started great going 6-2 before collapsing down the stretch. The Lions have a lot of holes, especially on defense and expecting them to have great NFL Betting Lines success may be asking too much in 2008. Detroit was a good bet in terms of overs as they went 11-5 on totals in NFL Lines.

Calvin Johnson looks great as a receiver but Jon Kitna throwing the ball leaves a lot to be desired. He had 18 TD’s but 20 interceptions according to football betting lines stats. The offense was 19th in the NFL according to NFL Betting Lines numbers. They ranked 16th in points scored according to NFL Betting Lines numbers. The offense is good enough to win some games in the NFL but getting a quarterback other than Kitna under center would definitely improve the Lions’ chances versus NFL Betting Lines. Getting Johnson and the other talented offensive players the ball is a top priority for Detroit.

Defensively the Lions were a disaster. They were the worst team in the NFL in points allowed and yardage allowed according to NFL Betting Lines stats. The Lions need serious defensive help across the board if they are to make any improvement in 2008 NFL lines. They also need a new quarterback because Kitna is never going to be the answer. The Lions also need offensive line help so they can protect whatever quarterback they are able to get and impact NFL Betting Lines. The Lions did pick up Leigh Bodden in a trade with Cleveland and signed free agent Brian Kelly from the Bucs so perhaps the secondary will be better and that would help them versus NFL Lines.

Although the Lions were awful in many areas the biggest problem according to NFL Betting Lines experts is in the front office. As long as Matt Millen is making decisions the Lions will continue to lose versus NFL Betting Lines.
