Will the Detroit Lions Win Before Their Week 7 Bye?

A new weekly column on BetVega.com will take a look at interesting prop bets that we stumble across as we feed our sports betting addiction.

BetUs.com has released a prop bet for degenerates to chew on that asks if the lowly Detroit Lions will win a game before their week 7 bye week. When you look at the schedule it does not look promising Lions fans:

Lions first six games of 2009:

Week 1: 9/13/09 @NO

Week 2: 9/20/09 MIN

Week 3: 9/27/09 WAS

Week 4: 10/4/09 @CHI

Week 5: 10/11/09 PIT

Week 6: 10/18/09 @GB

Here is the official betting line from BetUs.com:

Yes, the Lions will win before week 7 pays +120 on a $100 bet

No, the Lions will NOT win before week pays -160. You need to lay $160 to win $100

When you break it down the only game that seems reasonably "winnable" is the matchup with the Redskins on September 27th. With that being said, we all know anything can happen from week to week in the NFL. Chances are the Detroit Lions will be on a 0-22 run going into their week off and probably doing many Lions fans a favor by issuing blackouts in the local Detroit market once fans decide not to watch the worst football team in NFL history.
