The Detroit Lions will host the Buffalo Bills in what should be one of the most exciting games of the year. The Detroit Lions are coming off a fantastic win against the Packers where they were able to put up 34 points and win on a last-second field goal. The defense did allow 31 points, but held Josh Jacobs to under 4 yards per carry and Jordan Love to just over 200 yards.
The Bills are coming off a close loss to the Rams where despite putting up 42, they still failed to come out with a win. Josh Allen had an amazing game accounting for over 400 yards and 6 total TDs, but the defense gave up almost 200 yards to Puka Nacua and almost 100 yards to Kyren Williams. This game is expected to be close, and here are 3 bets that should hit on Sunday afternoon.
Buffalo Bills vs. Detroit Lions Match Details
- Fixture: Ford Field
- Date: December 15th
- Time: 4:25 pm EST
Amon-Ra St. Brown: Over 66.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
Despite Amon-Ra St. Brown struggling last week, I expect him to bounce back in a big way on Sunday for the Detroit Lions. He was held under 50 yards against Green Bay and kept out of the end zone for a 3rd straight week. The Bills have struggled the past few weeks defending the pass and allowed over 300 yards to Matt Stafford last week. St. Brown has been Goff’s go-to guy this year, and I expect him to look for him more than he did last week.
The current line is 66.5 yards, which he has hit in just 5 out of 13 games this year, but I expect this week to be the 6th. He should be able to easily hit this number and have a great bounce-back game.
Khalil Shakir: Over 5.5 Receptions (+105)
Khalil Shakir has been Allen’s favorite target this year, and I expect him to get plenty of looks this week. Shakir is coming off a game where he had 5 catches for 106 yards and a TD, showing how dominant he can be in the passing game. This year, the Detroit Lions have struggled against slot receivers, so Shakir should be able to thrive getting both yards and catches. He will likely get tons of targets and should get the ball plenty of times.
The current line is 5.5 receptions, which he has hit in 6 out of 13 games this year. Shakir will get plenty of looks in a pass-heavy Buffalo offense and should be able to hit this number with ease.
Jahmyr Gibbs: Over 13.5 Rush Attempts (-102)
Gibbs is coming off arguably his worst game as a Lion, but I expect him to have a huge bounce-back game against a struggling Buffalo run defense. Gibbs averaged less than 3 yards per carry against the Packers while totaling under 50 yards. He carried the ball 15 times but could not produce with his touches. Buffalo has been one of the worst run defenses lately, and I think the Detroit Lions lean on him and Montgomery a lot this game.
The current line is 13.5 carries, which he has hit in 6 out of 13 games this year. He should have no problem hitting this number, especially with how weak Bufflao’s run defense is and with the Detroit Lions being fully healthy on the offensive line.
