The Detroit Lions (6-7) travel to Jersey to take on the New York Jets (7-6) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Lions vs. Jets odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Lions come into this matchup with the Jets with the hopes of a playoff berth bounding in their heads. To get this, they will need to beat a Jets team who, after getting QB Mike White brutalized by Buffalo, will be forced to turn to QB Zach Wilson once again behind center. With Wilson back, the Jets will be forced to rely heavily on RBs Zonovan Knight and Michael Carter.
Detroit and QB Jared Goff have been on fire. In a 34-23 victory against the Vikings Sunday, Goff was 27-for-39 with 330 yards and 3 TDs. Including a TD to rookie WR Jameson Williams, who was appearing in his first game for the Lions after suffering a torn ACL in the National Championship game for Alabama in January. With the pass game getting another weapon and the run game still performing at an elevated level behind RB Jamaal Williams, the Lions are becoming more dangerous as the season goes on.
