The Detroit Lions traditionally play on Thanksgiving Day and, traditionally, they always lose.  Well, they’re probably going to lose straight-up again because their overall record is 0 and 11.  That’s right, 0 and 11. 

The Detroit Lions have not won a single game this season.  Scary, but this might be the best chance that NFL sports betting fans have ever had of seeing a team go 0 and 16 straight-up.  Detroit is just awful.  How will they do against a Tennessee Titans team coming off of their first loss? 

Well, they’re not going to win but they are getting a lot of points and their record against the online sportsbook betting spread is 4 and 7.  So, they do have a chance of beating the spread, right?

Probably not.  The Tennessee Titans are coming off of their first loss of the season.  I can guarantee you that Coach Jeff Fischer will return to that pounding running game on Thanksgiving Day that was missing this past Sunday.  NFL betting fans have to believe that the Titans bounce back in a big way after getting absolutely pummeled by the New York Jets.  I know I do.  The Titans are 10 and 1 straight-up and 9 and 2 against the BetUS online wagering spread.

Here are the BetUS online betting odds for this game.

Tennessee Titans                               - 12  - 110                    - 700                O  44 ½  - 110

Detroit Lions                                      + 12  - 110                   + 500               U  44 ½  - 110

Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game.

The Tennessee Titans are 5 and 0 against the spread in their last 5 games on the road.

The Over is 1 and 4 in the Tennessee Titans last 5 games on the road.

The Detroit Lions are 0 and 5 against the spread in their last 5 games at home.

The Over is 3-1-1 in the Detroit Lions last 5 games at home.

This game comes down to one simple thing.  Do the Detroit Lions have any chance of slowing down the Tennessee Titans running game?

I’m going to have to go with no on that one.  Both Detroit and Tennessee lost their last games this past Sunday but the difference between these two teams is glaring.  The Titans are one of the top teams in the NFL while Detroit is the worst team in the NFL.

I have no doubt that the Titans will be fired up to start a new winning steak and should have no trouble taking out the frustrations of the Jets’ loss on the Lions on Thanksgiving Day.

I will be making an online bet on the Tennessee Titans to cover the BetUS online betting spread of 12 points.
