The Detroit Lions don't have a strong public-vs-money pattern this season. Across the 1 game we've tracked, the average bet percentage on Detroit Lions is 62.0% and the average money percentage is 73.0%. Those are middle-of-the-pack numbers — bettors are split, dollars follow the bet count, and the line generally reflects the matchup rather than the public lean.
Sample size is a real consideration: 1 game is not enough to call a season-long pattern. The "heavy fade target" or "heavy public favorite" labels we apply to other teams require at least 5 games of data and a meaningful directional lean — neither applies here yet.
Watch the per-game splits below. Even balanced teams have individual games with meaningful divergence — that's where the daily roundups come in. See our methodology →.

From publicly reported sportsbook handle, captured on a sub-hourly cadence for every NFL game from the moment a line is posted. The team figures on this page use each game's closing snapshot — the last read before kickoff — so every number reflects what a bettor could actually have known.
1-0 ATS this season — the mirror of their public-favorite record, because the fade covers exactly when the public side doesn't. We show it as a record rather than a recommendation; a handful of games is not a pattern, and the line already builds in some of the public lean.
When 60% or more of spread tickets land on the Detroit Lions, they're 0-1 ATS this season. Books shade lines toward the side they know the public wants, so heavily backed teams as a group have historically covered a little under half the time — which is why this number gets its own row.
On the games we've tracked this season, the Detroit Lions draw 62.0% of spread tickets on average. Around 63% is typical for the more popular side of an NFL game, so a team living above 65% is one the crowd keeps coming back to — usually on name recognition, recent results or primetime exposure.
The Detroit Lions are 0-1 against the spread in the games where we have a closing split. That's the number that matters for a bettor — a team can win outright every week and still lose money for the people backing it at the number.
