The Detroit Lions are one of the best stories in the NFL this season. They are currently second in the NFC as we enter the second half of the campaign. Meanwhile, the Chargers are 4-4 and every week seems to either be a reason for excitement or confirmation of grand disappointment. I guess that makes them appointment viewing, even if it makes it tough for us bettors.
Detroit Lions vs. Los Angeles Chargers Betting Trends and Odds
Sunday, Nov. 12, 2023 — 4:05 p.m. ET
Odds: Detroit -3, Over/under 48.5, Detroit -155 | Los Angeles +130
I don’t know what the look-ahead line was for this game a few months back but I am guessing that the Chargers were favored, and it is not like they are missing their quarterback either — although Justin Herbert does have a finger injury. This is the new Detroit reality. When games are lined at -3 or less your best approach is to go with who you think will win. They usually wind up covering.
