The early afternoon slate sees the Detroit Lions trying to continue to provide themselves as a top Super Bowl contender as they host the Jacksonville Jaguars. It’s assumed to be one of the most significant mismatches we’ll see all season, but there is always value to be had, and we’ve found it with the best bet from our Vikings vs. Titans predictions.

You don’t even have to target Jaguars vs. Lions picks for the latest DraftKings Sportsbook welcome offer for a guaranteed $200 boost, which we’ve also provided you below!

 

 

 

Jaguars vs. Lions Predictions For NFL Week 11, Sunday 11/17

It’s not often that we see double-digit spreads in the NFL, but that is exactly what we see in the Jaguars vs. Lions odds for Sunday. With Detroit sitting at 8-1 and at home against a 2-8 Jacksonville team, that likely comes as no surprise.

As you’d expect, we too are predicting a Lions victory, but the better question is - can they cover a huge 13-point spread? Well, first and foremost, expect a big bounce back game from Detroit QB Jared Goff trying to get back in the MVP running after his five-interception performance last weekend.

That’s thanks to the fact that Jacksonville has a horrendous pass defense, and with Detroit’s not being elite either, expect plenty of points. We’ll use both of those factors for your Jaguars vs. Lions picks as well!
 

 

 

Jacksonville Jaguars: Twice Missing For Trevor

It didn’t seem to be as significant as it ended up being heading into Week 10, but Jags QB Trevor Lawrence was ruled out of last Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. Even with that being the case, they pushed the then 6-2 Vikes to the brink in a 12-7 loss.

The team didn’t waste any time ruling out Lawrence for this Sunday, meaning he’ll be missing back-to-back games now. After the team extended him with a massive $55 million per year contract this summer, this is not the spot that Jacksonville expected to be in. It makes you wonder - are they simply just planning for a full-scale change around Lawrence this offseason?
 

 

 

Detroit Lions: Leading The Pack

On the complete opposite end of the spectrum is the Lions, who many have as the best team in the NFL. At the very least, many fans are penciling them in the Super Bowl with the 9-0 Kansas City Chiefs. However, their most recent win was quite polarizing and sparked some debates.

It was a prime time Sunday Night Football game in which they were down 23-7 at halftime and Goff threw the aforementioned five picks. The debate is whether it was a concerning game or if it was even more impressive that they overcame the adversity. Whichever side of that fence you’re on, the fact remains that they lead the entire NFC with their 8-1 record.
 

 

 

Jaguars vs. Lions Odds, Spreads, Total & Betting Lines

The Jaguars vs. Lions odds may have the biggest favorite that we see all season, and here are the latest lines at DraftKings Sportsbook:

 

 

Jaguars vs. Lions Teaser: Detroit -6 & Over 40 Points (-120 at DraftKings Sportsbook)

We mentioned that we would use multiple aspects for our Jaguars vs. Lions picks, and that’s because we’re going to make the lines above more favorable. Of course, a teaser means that while the lines are more favorable, we also need both of them to come to fruition.

There should be no issues in doing so, as we’re going through a key number in both markets. Starting with the point spread, the Lions can now win by less than a touchdown rather than nearly two, which is the line at some other sportsbooks.

Detroit hasn’t just been winning games. While last week was a close matchup, those have been few and far between - their +113 point differential this season is the best in the entire NFL. As for the Jags, their -62 is among the worst. Similarly, oddsmakers simply haven’t been able to adjust for the Lions' success.

Not only is Detroit 8-1 overall, but they are also an amazing 7-2 against the spread! As the saying goes: good teams win, great teams cover. With the Lions having such success in that regard, they’ve clearly been able to put up plenty of points, including 42+ in back-to-back weeks. In other words, they can cover the adjusted total of 40 points themselves!

Even if Jacksonville scores just once, that should be plenty for the best bet from our Jaguars vs. Lions predictions of Detroit -6 & over 40 points (-120 at DraftKings Sportsbook) hit.
