The Detroit Lions enter Week 14 off their first win of the season, but will have a tough task to repeat that feat against the Denver Broncos. With D’Andre Swift out, the Lions' offensive attack will suffer more than usual. This leaves the door open for others to pitch in. But, do the Lions have enough depth to fill in the gaps that Swift’s injury leaves? Let’s take a look at some prop odds for this showdown, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.

3 Best Prop Bets for Lions vs Broncos

  • Jared Goff UNDER 205.5 Passing Yards (-115)
  • Jerry Jeudy OVER 4.0 Receptions (+100)
  • Courtland Sutton Under 37.5 Receptions Yards (-115)

Jared Goff UNDER 205.5 Passing Yards (-115)

Goff had one of his best games of the season last week when he threw for 296 yards and three touchdowns against the Minnesota Vikings. He added three touchdowns and an interception in the Lions’ big win. While it was a good performance, Goff is averaging just 234.2 yards passing per game and failed to eclipse 200 yards in his two previous outings. The Broncos' defense is above average and matches up well here. They held Patrick Mahomes under 200 yards and Goff is far from Mahomes. The Lions offense is depleted with Swift out and Goff has precious few other options to rely on. I have a hard time seeing Goff repeat his performance this weekend. 

Jerry Jeudy OVER 4.0 Receptions (+100)

With Jeudy back and healthy, he is the number one option in this Broncos’ passing attack. Jeudy has four or more receptions in all but one start this season and has gone over this total in two of his last four games. Normally, I wouldn't be too high on this passing offense normally, but against the Lions, Jeudy should shine. The Broncos' only other real option in the air is Courtland Sutton who has been wildly inconsistent and underperforming for weeks.

Courtland Sutton Under 37.5 Receptions Yards (-115)

While the Lions' offense is pretty awful, their defense is actually playing quite well this year. They are allowing just 249.8 yards passing which is good for 11th in the NFL. Courtland Sutton, meanwhile, has been struggling this season and is averaging just 1.8 receptions per game. Now that Jerry Jeudy is back in the mix, Sutton is fighting for touches with him, Tim Patrick, and Noah Fant along with the running backs. This doesn’t leave a whole lot of meat on the bone for Sutton. This is a game the Broncos can probably win on the ground and I don’t see Sutton being the go-to guy when they choose to air it out.
