Patriots vs. Lions: 5 best prop bets, long shot, final prediction

Bailey Zappe is likely to start for the Patriots against the Lions on Sunday. Mac Jones is injured.

Rhamondre Stevenson has gone over 65 yards in back-to-back games. The Patriots are going to look to establish the run with Damien Harris and Stevenson. Detroit's ground defense has been porous this season.

Hunter Henry has been disappointing this season. Jonnu Smith is doubtful with an ankle injury. Henry will get more opportunities to play with the tight ends.

Patriots have scored on their opening drive in four straight games. Jake Bailey got plenty of work in Green Bay and he could be called upon again this week.

Nick Folk is going to make a couple field goals and a PAT to cover the over/under on his kicking points bet.

Marcus Jones looked explosive in his debut as a punt returner last week. Jared Goff has been prone to some what-was-he-thinking throws over the course of his career.

The Patriots are 1-3 and beat Green Bay at Lambeau Field. They should cover the -3 spread against the Lions.
