Books Show Rare Unanimity on Lions Dominance
The Steelers venture into Ford Field facing a Lions team that has the betting market’s full confidence. This isn’t just about a 6.5-point spread — it’s about how emphatically the books are pricing Detroit’s superiority across every angle.
Without movement data, we’re reading the current juice distribution like tea leaves. The spread shows Detroit laying 6.5 with significantly heavier juice on Pittsburgh (+6.5 at -102 versus Lions -6.5 at -120). This pricing structure suggests books aren’t worried about Steelers money — they’re comfortable making Pittsburgh cheaper to bet.
The total sits at a neutral 51.5 with flat juice, indicating genuine uncertainty about pace and scoring environment. But here’s where it gets interesting: the team totals tell a different story entirely.
Detroit’s team total of 29.5 carries heavy juice on the over (-122), while Pittsburgh’s 22.5 shows lighter but still over-skewed pricing (-113). Books are essentially saying they expect Detroit to score freely while capping Pittsburgh’s ceiling. The math checks out — 29.5 plus 22.5 equals exactly 52, just a half-point above the game total.
