The Detroit Lions finished the 2021 season with the second worst record in the NFL. They were one of just two teams, along with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who failed to reach four wins on the year. However, that hasn't stopped bettors from lining up to back the Lions in 2022. As of mid-May at BetMGM, only the New York Jets have received more over bets on their season win total than the Lions.
The Lions win total is set at 6.5, which is a 3.5 win upgrade from their total last year. It's tied for the largest season-to-season upgrade in the league, alongside the Jaguars, Denver Broncos and New York Giants.
