For five straight games, the Detroit Lions have allowed 26 or more points to their opponents, a truly disappointing stretch for the defense.

Can Denver Broncos QB Russell Wilson take advantage of this downtrodden unit in a road environment on Saturday?

Russell Wilson player props

Russell Wilson Over 215.5 passing yards (-110 via bet365) ⭐⭐⭐

The Lions have allowed 226.6 passing yards per game this season, ranking 19th in the NFL in pass defense. During the team’s recent stretch of allowing 26-plus points to each of its last five opponents, Detroit has allowed four of five opposing quarterbacks to clear this 215.5-yard passing line.

While Wilson hasn’t been the picture of a volume passer this season, he’s still cleared this passing line five times on the campaign. With the Lions serving as 4.5-point favorites across our best sports betting apps, the game script could dictate the necessity for Denver to throw its way into competitiveness in this matchup.

Wilson won’t have to worry about the elements in a dome environment at Ford Field. I like him to clear this line, which is listed at 215.5 yards across our best sportsbooks, with bet365 posting the most favorable odds on Over at -110.

Russell Wilson Over 1.5 passing touchdowns (+143 via Caesars) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wilson has thrown multiple touchdown passes seven times this season and faces a Lions defense that has allowed far more than its fair sharing of touchdowns in recent weeks, so the matchup would seemingly set up favorably.

Although Denver prefers to establish the run when at all possible, the Lions still possess a top-10 run defense that could prove difficult to pierce regularly in the red zone. The Broncos have the talent in the receiving corps to turn this game, which has a total that has risen to 48, into the type of shootout that could see both quarterbacks trading touchdowns.

The place where you place a wager on this prop is just as imperative as the side itself as you don’t want to be leaving potential profit on the table. DraftKings and BetMGM are solid options, offering Wilson to throw multiple touchdowns at +135 odds, but you can find even juicier odds of +143 at Caesars.

Avoid FanDuel for this prop as the +120 odds there pale in comparison to our other NFL prop betting sites.

Russell Wilson Over 24.5 rushing yards (-110 via bet365) ⭐⭐⭐

At this stage in his career, Wilson doesn’t always look to use his mobility in the running game, but we’ve seen him do it enough this season to expect this aspect of his game to be a factor on Saturday.

The Lions have been particularly susceptible to opposing quarterbacks gashing them on the ground in recent weeks, with Justin Fields racking up 12 carries for 58 yards this past week, while Jordan Love needed just three attempts to compile 39 rushing yards on Thanksgiving.

The rushing line sits at 24.5 yards across our best sports betting sites. It’s a line Wilson has cleared seven times on the season, so we like his chances given the Lions’ recent history with this prop. Play it at bet365 where you’ll get -110 odds on the Over, and use our bet365 bonus code: SBRBONUS, to register today.
