Where the Game Will Be Won
The spread move from Lions -8.5 to -10 and a total of 50 points tell us the market expects Detroit to score and control tempo at home. Laying double digits means oddsmakers are asking the Lions to win by margin, not just edge out a close game.
From a betting standpoint, Giants backers are now getting more than a field goal of extra cushion compared to the opener, while Lions bettors are paying a premium for a team the market already liked. Recreational bettors should think in simple terms: Detroit needs multiple-score separation to cover, while New York only has to keep the game reasonably competitive.
Public Betting Tickets
Roughly three out of four tickets are on Detroit, and that one-sided interest has helped push the spread to a full 10 points. For newer bettors, that means the “obvious” side is the big home favorite, while the extra value in the number has shifted toward the underdog.

Giants vs Lions Pick & Prediction
Pick: Giants +10
Lean: Under 50
The market and public both favor Detroit, but with the spread stretched to -10, the Lions now need a comfortable win to reward favorite backers. Taking the Giants plus double digits leans into the extra points created by that move, while the under pairs with a scenario where New York slows the game down and avoids the kind of shootout that would justify such a high total.
