The results from our latest SB Nation Reacts Survey are in and Detroit Lions are feeling confident.
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Detroit Lions fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
In this week’s SB Nation Reacts survey , we asked Lions fans just two questions:
- The Lions are a 9.5-point favorite at FanDuel Sportsbook . What will be the result?
- The total on the game is 55.5 What will be the result?
We’ve seen the betting line at FanDuel Sportsbook bounce between Lions -8.5 points and Lions -9.5 points this week, but when the Lions and Commanders fan bases were asked, the higher spread was represented.
Let’s take a look at how each fan base voted:
The Lions’ fan base is very confident, with 91% of them believing the Lions will win, and 53% believing they’ll cover the large spread. The Commanders’ fan base also believes in their team, but just over half (53%) voted that they thought Washington would pull off the upset, and 11% are expecting them to lose by two scores.
Nationally, 63% of the NFL audience picked the Lions to cover the spread—a common trend this season:
As for the second question, the Lions and Commanders have the largest Over/Under line in the divisional round at 55.5 points, but with such a large target, it’s not overly surprising to see both fan bases with a near-even split on the betting line.
