The Detroit Lions have emerged as the favorites to win the Super Bowl, surpassing the Kansas City Chiefs.
Why it matters: After a dominant victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Chiefs' first defeat of the season, the Lions have taken the top spot with impressive odds on ESPN BET.
By the numbers: The Lions entered their game against the Jaguars as 14-point favorites and secured a resounding 52-6 home victory, improving their record to 8-2 against the spread.
What's new: The Lions' success has been recognized by bettors, with 94% of the money backing them to cover the spread in their game against the Jaguars.
- Favorites of over nine points are now 6-0 against the spread this season, with the Lions accounting for two of those wins.
Yes, but: It is worth noting that being a double-digit favorite twice in one season is a rare occurrence for the Lions, with the last time being in 1996.
What to watch: As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see if the Lions can maintain their strong performance and continue to exceed expectations.
The bottom line: The Lions' rise to Super Bowl favorites showcases their exceptional form and highlights the potential for an exciting and unexpected outcome in this NFL season.
