Fixture: Detroit Lions @ New England Patriots
Date & Time: Sunday, October 9; 1:00 pm EDT
Venue: Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Massachusetts
NFL Parlay Leg #1: Lions First Half Total Over 9.5 Points (-135)
The Lions rank first in the NFL in points scored and total yards. Last week, they put up 45 points, but most of their scoring came in the second half. They still had 15 at halftime, though, and in every game this year, they've had 14 or more points through the first two quarters.
The absence of starting running back D'Andre Swift could make it a little tough, but their performance last week showed that they can score without him. They also have averaged 16.3 first-half points on the year, while the Pats allow over ten on average. Expect them to reach double digits by half-time on Sunday.
