I’ll bite on this price. I think that the Lions are probably one of the top-7 rosters in the NFC however, it’s still the Lions and they still don’t have a proof of concept. I think we’re getting a little ahead of ourselves with them. If the price for them to make the playoffs was closer to -130 or -135 then I’d be more interested in betting on this team than fading them. — Tyler Fulghum

Goff threw for 4,438 yards last season, so we aren’t asking all that much here. For the over bet to cash, Goff would need to average 232.4 passing yards per game over a 17-game season, which is something he’s accomplished in five of the past six years. In the one season he didn’t average at least 232.4 passing yards per game, he came in just a bit short at 231.8 yards per game. Take note that the Lions play one outdoor contest (December 10 at Chicago) after the month of October. — Joe Fortenbaugh

*Record against the “Over” line set for the game. Both teams are credited with a win if the game went over, a loss if under, and a tie if pushed.
