The Lions are 6-2 and have won four straight. Jared Goff has thrown just two interceptions through eight games, and Detroit’s offense remains one of the most balanced in football. The Lions are the designated home team in Munich, and the market has them as a short favorite.
The Patriots are 5-4 and have dropped two of their last three, including a tough home loss before the trip overseas. Still, this team is just one game behind Buffalo in the AFC East, and Drake Maye gives it a chance against anyone.
International games have a way of erasing the gap between teams. Both sides are dealing with jet lag, an unfamiliar stadium and a schedule unlike anything else on their calendar. In those conditions, the team getting points has an edge.
The Patriots also aren’t as far behind as their recent results suggest. They lead the all-time series with Detroit, they have a quarterback who can make something out of nothing, and a 2.5-point spread means they can lose by a field goal minus the hook and still cash. The public will lean toward Detroit’s winning streak, which makes New England the contrarian side. Take the Patriots and the points. Your $350 in FanCash arrives win or lose.
At 51, the books are expecting points. Both offenses can score quickly, and neutral-site games tend to take away some of the defensive advantages of playing at home. If you prefer the total, the Over fits the matchup.
An international stage, an early kickoff and a short spread. New users can bet $20 on Lions-Patriots in Munich and get $350 in FanCash with Fanatics Sportsbook promo code FOXNEWS350.
