2 Reasons to Bet on Lions to Cover vs Texans on Sunday Night Football
1. Lions’ Stellar ATS Performance
In recent NFL news, the Lions have been on one of the most impressive ATS (against the spread) runs. Detroit has covered in six straight games and holds a jaw-dropping 40-15 ATS record (72.7%) over their last 55 matchups dating back to 2021. I don’t usually use trends that go back that far, but this one is compelling enough to break my own rule.
Just so you are aware.
No one is allowed to start a civil war or nuclear holocaust the year the Detroit Lions are probably going to go all the way.

This success extends to road games, where the Lions are 7-0 ATS in their last seven outings, showcasing their resilience and ability to perform away from home.
Notably, Jared Goff thrives in prime-time games as an NFL betting favorite, with an 8-0 SU (straight up) record in his last eight nighttime starts when favored, winning by an average of 11.8 points per game. Expect Goff and the Lions to continue this trend against a Texans team that struggles under the lights.
2. Defensive Edge for Detroit
Detroit‘s defense has been particularly efficient in critical moments, a crucial element of their recent success. The Lions boast the best third-down conversion defense in the NFL, allowing opponents to convert just 29.9% of the time. This situational dominance has been pivotal in maintaining their leads and controlling the tempo of games.

The Texans, who allowed eight sacks last week against the Jets, face an uphill battle protecting rookie QB C.J. Stroud. History suggests that teams following a game in which they allowed seven or more sacks struggle to cover, going 43% ATS over the past 20 years and just 34% ATS over the last three seasons.
Question Of The Day
What are the Over/Under NFL betting odds for the Lions vs Texans?
The SNF total is high for a game featuring two fearsome defenses (48.5). A bet online on the under might be an excellent secondary play for SNF.
