Jaguars-Lions Week 13 Odds, Bets, and Spread
Jared Goff and the Lions host Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars in a Week 13 showdown.
The Lions three-game winning streak was snapped on Thanksgiving against the Bills. Detroit, who is 3-1 straight up over their last four games, are a perfect 4-0 against the spread over that stretch and have been a great team to back at betting windows over the last month.
Dan Campbell’s club, listed as underdogs by oddsmakers in 10 of 11 games, have thrived in that role posting a 7-3 ATS mark over that span. However, bettors will not be spotted any points in Week 13 as the Lions are listed as the betting favorite (-2.5) against the Jaguars.
Jacksonville, fresh off their 28-27 upset of the Ravens, will be in search of their third win in four games after enduring a five-game SU and ATS losing streak during Weeks 4-8. Dating back to last season, the Jaguars are a disappointing 1-7-1 ATS (11.1%) over their last nine road games.

Odds and Betting Insight Breakdown:
On the ground, Jacksonville finds a favorable matchup possessing the league’s ninth-best rushing attack (130.4 yards per game) encountering Detroit’s 30th-ranked run defense surrendering 154.76 yards per game. In Week 12, Travis Etienne suffered a foot injury that forced him to leave the game after just two carries for three yards. If the star running back can return in Week 13, he finds a juicy matchup against a Lions defense that has allowed 12 rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs this season.
Jared Goff, who has thrown six touchdowns over his last five games, should post solid production against a Lions secondary that has surrendered 24 total touchdowns to opposing quarterbacks in 2022. The veteran signal-caller has thrived playing at home this season, throwing 88.2% of his touchdowns (15/17) at Ford Field.

Expect another big day from wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown, who has hauled in 37 receptions for 441 yards (88.2 per game) over his last five games. The emerging talent, who has only one touchdown since Week 2, should add to that disappointing total against a Jaguars defense that has allowed eight scores to opposing wide receivers over the last six games.
D’Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams, who have combined for 18 total touchdowns, find a tricky matchup against a Jaguars defense that has only surrendered eight rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs in eleven games this season. The Jaguars run defense has been stingy over the last month holding the Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders and Ravens to only 71.5 rushing yards per game
Jaguars Straight-Up Record: 4-7
Jaguars Against The Spread Record: 4-6-1
Lions Straight-Up Record: 4-7
Lions Against The Spread Record: 7-4
