Some props and Vegas Vic’s picks for Monday’s NFL doubleheader
Carlos Osorio / AP Line: Lions -6.5. Over/under: 44.5.
* Kerryon Johnson is 14-1 to score the first touchdown. It's a crowded backfield in Detroit, so back it up with old friend LeGarrette Blount (10-1) who is two years removed from posting 18 rushing touchdowns.
* Lions are half-point favorites to lead after one quarter. Jets quarterback Sam Darnold, 21, is the youngest quarterback to be an opening-week starter in history. In Detroit's dome, that doesn't feel like a fast start.
* Total sacks are 4.5. The Lions' Matt Stafford was sacked a career-high 47 times last year, and as mentioned, the Jets are starting a rookie.
