The Lions’ immense betting popularity also extends to player props. According to bet tracking tool Pikkit, running back Jahmyr Gibbs was the most-bet player across all props markets, attracting $815,000 in wagers tracked by the app. Gibbs was also the second-most-bet pick to score a touchdown on Sunday, which he did with a one-yard run in the second quarter.
Following Detroit’s dismantling of the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11, the Lions, at +375 on ESPN BET, overtook the Chiefs (+450) as Super Bowl favorites.
Detroit entered Sunday’s contest against Jacksonville as a 14-point favorite and rolled to a 52-6 victory to improve to 8-2 against the spread, tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the best against the spread record in the league.
With the Lions accounting for two of those wins, favorites of over nine points are now 6-0 against the spread this season, marking a trend in betting illuminating their strong performance.
