Despite their disappointing performance on Thanksgiving, oddsmakers are still favoring the Detroit Lions over the New Orleans Saints in their upcoming matchup. The Lions are currently 3.5-point favorites, with 79% of bets and 98% of the money going towards them.
The Saints have struggled offensively and have dealt with injuries, including a knee injury to wide receiver Michael Thomas. This game is significant as it marks the return of Lions head coach Dan Campbell and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn to New Orleans.
