Despite receiving heavy criticism for their selections during the 2023 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions (-1.5)
are 2-1 on the season, and that is largely in part due to their rookies showing out early on. Tight end Sam LaPorta is breaking NFL records three games into the season, while Brian Branch is looking like the best player on the entire Lions defense at times. Though Jahmyr Gibbs has had his ups and downs so far, he’s still averaging an impressive 4.5 yards per carry and is only getting better the more he touches the ball.
