Feast on Thanksgiving: Best Lions vs. Packers prop bets

I.Mitchell3 months ago

The Lions will play their annual Thanksgiving game this Thursday against NFC North rival, the Green Bay Packers. The Lions are the second-best team in the NFC and are looking to feast on Thursday at packed Ford Field. Here are three great props that should be on the table this Thanksgiving. Before placing your bets this holiday, remember to fuel up on the best sportsbook bonuses for Michigan bettors .

Jahmyr Gibbs: Over 3.5 receptions (-145, DraftKings)

Don’t hesitate on this bet. Gibbs’s line is at 3.5 across sportsbooks right now. However, the payout varies across platforms and it would not be surprising to see this line move up to 4 or 4.5 soon. For reference, taking over 3.5 receptions on FanDuel is paying out -188. The DraftKings -145 line is the best on the market.

While Gibbs and David Montgomery split time rushing, the rookie has been involved in the passing game all season - and more so as of late. The back has 37 receptions in eight games which averages out to 4.63 a game. That includes his outlier one reception game in Week 3. His receptions for the last five games read: 6, 3, 5, 9, 4. The four-reception game was on five targets last time out versus Green Bay.

We also like Gibbs: Over 27.5 receiving yards ( -115, DraftKings ) for this Thursday.

Sign up on DraftKings Sportsbook and bet $5 on this Gibbs prop and get $150 in bonus bets instantly. On top of that, you get a no-sweat same-game parlay every day.

Lions: First half -4.5 (-105, FanDuel)

The line for this game is 7.5, so you may think that the Lions needing to score five or more in the first half is a high mark to reach. However, the Lions are one of the best first-half teams in the NFL and the Packers are one of the worst. The Lions average 15.3 points in the first half which is sixth in the NFL. That number rises to 17 points at home. On the flip, the Packers are 31st in first-half scoring. They average 5.9 points.

Also, it’s hard to not play into the storylines for the Lions in this game. Detroit arguably has the most hope they’ve had in franchise history and the Thanksgiving game is their tradition. Ford Field should be rocking on Thursday and the team has guys like Aidan Hutchinson who grew up a Lions fan and is now part of the Super Bowl contender team.

New users, bet $5 on the Lions moneyline and get $150 in bonus bets if Detroit wins. Also, all customers get a profit boost every day at FanDuel Sportsbook .

Jordan Love: Over 0.5 interceptions (-177, BetRivers)

Without many Packers props posted yet, look the this Love bet if you need a Packers player in a parlay. Jordan Love is one of the least accurate quarterbacks in the league. In fact, he ranks 32nd with a 59.7% completion rate out of the 35 qualified quarterbacks. He has thrown 10 interceptions this season which puts him in third in the league. Love had two interceptions against the Lions last time out.

Use the promo code when signing up for a BetRivers Sportsbook for a $500 second chance bet. That means if you bet $500 on this Love prop and you win, you’d cash out like normal. If you lose, your bet will be refunded up to $500 so you can try again.
