Earlier this week, we published our latest SB Nation Reacts surveys, asking Detroit Lions fans if they believe quarterback Jared Goff will exceed his projected 2025 passing totals, utilizing the betting lines established by the folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook.
Despite recording at least 4,438 passing yards and 29 passing touchdowns in each of the last three seasons—including 4,629 passing yards and 37 passing touchdowns in 2024—the betting lines for Goff in 2025 were significantly lower: 3,875.5 passing yards and 27.5 passing touchdowns.
This is likely a result of FanDuel establishing the betting line based on a possible regression from Goff, as the national narrative has placed significant weight on the fact that Detroit lost offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to Chicago and All-Pro center Frank Ragnow to retirement.
