This week, the Lions host the Las Vegas Raiders. Las Vegas is good enough to fool gamblers into thinking they are a Pro Football Betting contender. The Raiders are suffering from instability at QB. The Detroit Lions have never made a Super Bowl. But long-suffering Lions fans are full of justifiable hope in 2023. Detroit leads the NFC North. Most important of all, the rest of the division is struggling. Detroit is coming off a blowout loss at Baltimore. As a result, some gamblers are doubting the Lions again.
