WEEK 1: Detroit Lions vs. New York Jets point-spread revealed

After browsing social media throughout the preseason, it was clear that the majority of Detroit Lions‘ fans were not too happy with how their team looked. The offense struggled, the defense struggled, and even new head coach Matt Patricia had a few mental errors.

That being said, the preseason is over and it has absolutely nothing to do with how the Lions will perform in Week 1 when they take on the New York Jets on Monday Night Football.

According to Bovada, the Lions are currently a healthy 7-point favorite over Jets on MNF.

It’s not much of a surprise that the Lions are favored by a touchdown as the game will be played at Ford Field against a Jets team that is coming off of a 5-11 2017 campaign.

What do you think, Nation? Will the Lions look like a different team than they did in the preseason and take care of business against the Jets?
