Bills vs. Lions Betting Preview: Over/Under Pick for Week 15 Matchup

Buffalo Bills at Detroit Lions, 12/15/24
When: Sunday, December 15th at 4:25 EST
Where: Ford Field (Detroit, MI)
TV: CBS

Point spread: Detroit Lions -2.5
Over/under: 54.5

In my opinion, this is by far the best game in the Week 15 slate. When the Buffalo Bills and the Detroit Lions meet, it could very well be a preview of this year’s Super Bowl matchup. These two teams only have four losses between them on the season, making this a highly anticipated matchup. To add to the notoriety of this game, both the Lions and the Bills are the current division leaders in the NFC North and AFC East, respectively. There is so much firepower on both sides of the ball, making this a must-watch contest. I have my eyes on a few key factors and playmakers that may give one of these two squads an advantage this Sunday. Luckily for you, I have broken down how each team has performed through 14 weeks of play and where their strengths and weaknesses lie. Keep reading below and see who I am laying my money on here in week 15.

Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills enter week 15 with a record of 10-3 and find themselves firmly in the driver’s seat in their division. Behind quarterback Josh Allen, the Bills have been able to average 30.5 points per game. Allen has been nothing short of spectacular and has thrown for 3033 yards, 23 touchdowns, and just five interceptions.

Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions may be the best all-around team in the NFL. At 12-1 on the year, the Lions are first in their division and also first in the entirety of the NFC. Jared Goff has fit in perfectly with the playstyle of this group and has thrown for 3265 yards and 25 touchdowns. The Lions have a prolific running back duo of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, who have combined for almost 1800 rushing yards and 22 touchdowns.

Betting Pick

Over 54.5 (-110)

How could you possibly bet on the under in this game? There is just way too much star power and electric playmakers to even consider such a thing. This may be the highest total of the week, but I still don’t think it’s high enough. The Lions are going to create a ton of problems for the Buffalo defense, and the Bills have proven that they can rely on Josh Allen’s arm to put up points. This game is going to be a track meet. It also helps that the game will be played in a dome, so weather will not be a factor. This one is going to be fun to watch from start to finish.
