And the young core of Amon-Ra St. Brown, Sam LaPorta and Jahmyr Gibbs should only improve with Jared Goff still under centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rams are no pushovers, though. They&#8217;ve gone over .500 in six of the last seven seasons, so this should be a fun game to get the Sunday Night Football season started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bet on offence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best bet: Over 52.5 points<\/strong> <strong>(-112)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:93790\">Embed: #93790<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll preface this bet by saying that Detroit&#8217;s Ford Field is a domed stadium and both quarterbacks strive in that type of environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jared Goff had an 11-3 record and threw for 277 yards per game when playing indoors last season. He compiled a 69.8% completion rate, 28 TD passes, eight interceptions and a 106.4 QB rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His counterpart and former Lion, Matthew Stafford, completed 25-of-36 pass attempts for 367 yards, two TDs and no picks in the NFC wild-card contest in Detroit last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game stayed under this number, but that was the playoffs. I&#8217;m expecting a more free-flowing offensive approach from both sides on Sunday. The Rams also lost Aaron Donald, a generational defensive talent, to retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both teams fielded a bottom-half scoring defence last season, with the Lions allowing the eighth-most points per game (23.8) with the Rams not far behind (22.3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>L.A. and Detroit&#8217;s rosters are both built around their offensive talent, so I&#8217;m backing the over in the season&#8217;s first edition of Sunday Night Football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> The Lions allowed the second-most yards per game in the league last season (257.0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>NFL pick made at 3:05 p.m. on 09\/06\/24.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions wrap up the first NFL Sunday of the season on Sunday Night Football.
