The Detroit Lions have been performing significantly better than their opponents in recent games, making them a strong pick for this bet. The Lions have a positive points differential over the last five games, both overall (6.6) and at home (7.2), while their opponents have a negative overall (-12.8) and away (-17.8) points differential. This suggests that the Lions have been outscoring their opponents by a considerable margin.

This holds true both overall and specifically for passing and rushing. Their opponents, however, have a negative EPA differential, indicating they're allowing more scoring opportunities than they're creating.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The Detroit Lions' performance over the last five games provides a strong rationale for a spread bet of -10.5. Notably, their scoring average (33 points) significantly outpaces the away team's average (11.8 points), indicating a substantial offensive advantage. Also, their average point differential (+6.6) contrasts sharply with the away team's (-12.8), suggesting a higher likelihood of a double-digit victory. The Lions also have a superior EPA (Expected Points Added) differential, indicating they're more efficient in turning plays into points. Their passing and rushing EPA are both higher, suggesting a more balanced and effective offense. Also, their turnover differential is better, indicating a lower likelihood of game-changing errors. The away team's poor recent record (1-4 overall, 0-5 away) further tilts the odds in favor of a Lions win by more than 10.5 points. Hence, the statistical evidence supports this bet.
