Detroit Lions 2025 NFL Betting Odds & Picks
It has been an interesting evolution for the Detroit Lions, who have gone from the outhouse to near the penthouse. This once hapless franchise is tantalizingly close to its first Super Bowl berth. The Lions fell short of their Super Bowl aspirations last season, but they still have one of the best rosters in football to make another deep playoff run, potentially. Detroit once again prioritized the trenches, using high draft capital on players who pride themselves on being physical, including Tyleik Williams, the rugged run stopper and first-round selection. Tate Ratledge, the second-round pick, could be in the mix for a starting guard job, competing with Christian Mahogany and Graham Glasgow.

2025 Detroit Lions Schedule, Results & Record
The Lions missed an opportunity to add help for Aidan Hutchinson, the star edge rusher recovering from a leg injury. Alim McNeill is also working his way back from a significant injury. The secondary this season could be defined by how much 2024 draftees Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw Jr. improve in Year 2. The Lions also have to get on the same page with veteran newcomer Reed, who signed a three-year deal after a successful stint with the New York Jets.

Founded in 1932, the Detroit Lions have a lot of history, though most of it is for their ineptitude. Once upon a time, the Lions were a power franchise in the NFL.
From 1952 through 1957, the Lions won three NFL championships. Unfortunately for Detroit, that last title in 1957 is not remembered except by its elderly fans. Detroit has never made the Super Bowl since the game's inception in the 1966 season.
The Lions may not have won many championships, but they have had many memorable star players through the years. Bobby Layne was the Lions' quarterback in their 1950s era of glory.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Lions had some tough teams that were pretty good, including their 1970 playoff team. Those teams had big-name stars such as cornerback Lem Barney, defensive tackle Alex Karras, cornerback Dick LeBeau, linebacker Joe Schmidt, center Ed Flanigan, kicker Errol Mann, and tight end Charlie Sanders.
The Lions were such an attractive team in that era they were featured in a major motion picture. Alan Alda starred in Paper Lion as the writer who tried out for the team and chronicled his training camp experience in a book.
In later years, the Lions had to of the most exciting running backs in NFL history. Billy Sims and Barry Sanders electrified fans and gamblers with their exploits.
In 1991, the Lions had their closest shot at a Super Bowl. Detroit made the NFC championship game but was eliminated by the eventual champion Washington Redskins.
Wayne Fontes coached that Lions team and led Detroit to the playoffs four times from 1991 through 1995.

Betting Rules & Policies
Free Play Rules
- Free plays cannot be used on proposition bets.

- The maximum payout for any Free Play is $5,000.
- Free Plays that are left unused for 180 days will be removed from your account.
ROLLOVER
- Did you know that on all deposits made at BookMaker, there is a rollover requirement: an amount of betting action you must fulfill before you are eligible to make a withdrawal.

Wager Cash Out - How it works
