Detroit Lions open as favorites vs. LA Rams in 2024 ‘SNF’ opener

After a terrific 2023 season that saw the Detroit Lions win 12 games, take control of the NFC North title, and vanquish the Los Angeles Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFL Playoffs, Detroit is being rewarded handsomely with nine nationally televised games—including five in primetime.

The 2024 schedule was released on Wednesday night and the Lions will kick things off with a bang on “Sunday Night Football.” In a rematch of last year's NFC Wildcard Playoff game, the Lions will host the Rams in primetime of Week 1, and the folks over at DraftKings Sportsbook have set the opening betting line at Detroit -3 points.
