Detroit Lions vs. Denver Broncos point spread released
Following a disappointing Week 14 loss to the Chicago Bears, the Detroit Lions are gearing up to make a strong comeback in their next game. They’ll be hosting the Denver Broncos at Ford Field next Saturday night, in what promises to be an intriguing NFL matchup. On the other side, the Broncos are riding high on their recent road victory against the Los Angeles Chargers, enhancing their season record to 7-6.
Detroit Lions Open as Favorites According to DraftKings
DraftKings has released the opening point spread for the upcoming game between the Detroit Lions and the Denver Broncos. In this highly anticipated clash, the Lions have been established as a 4-point home favorite. Additionally, the Over/Under for the game has been set at 47.
Lions’ Playoff Hopes and Resilience
Despite the setback in Week 14, the Lions (9-4) chances of making the NFL Playoffs remain strong. However, their ambition to clinch the NFC North title was slightly dented as they lost to the Bears while the Minnesota Vikings secured a win to move to 7-6 on the season (The Packers have not yet played at the time of posting but they are 6-6 heading into their MNF matchup against the Giants).
Nonetheless, the Lions have a reputation for bouncing back robustly from losses, a testament to the team’s resilience and the effective leadership of head coach Dan Campbell. There’s a strong expectation that Campbell will have his team well-prepared and ready to face the challenge posed by the Broncos.
