Lions vs. Rams odds, line, start time: Detroit expert reveals spread pick for NFC Wild Card showdown
The third-seeded Detroit Lions will try to end the longest postseason losing streak in NFL history when they host the sixth-seeded Los Angeles Rams in a 2024 NFL Super Wild Card Weekend game on Sunday. Detroit (12-5) has lost nine consecutive playoff games since defeating Dallas in the divisional round in 1991. Los Angeles (10-7) ended the regular season with a four-game winning streak and has won four straight postseason contests, including Super Bowl LVI. Both teams won and covered last week.
Kickoff at Ford Field is set for 8 p.m. ET. Detroit is a 3-point favorite in the latest Lions vs. Rams odds, while the over/under for total points scored is 52.
Before you make any Rams vs. Lions picks or NFL playoff predictions of your own, you need to see what NFL expert R.J. White has to say, given his mastery of picks in games involving the Lions.
White, a Fantasy and gambling editor for CBS Sports, consistently crushes against-the-spread picks and went 535-450-30 on his ATS picks from 2017-22, which returned more than $3,500 to $100 players. He also closed the 2022 NFL season on an incredible 107-80-6 run on his last 193 against-the-spread and total NFL picks, returning more than $1,800 for $100 bettors.
Most importantly, White has a read on the pulse of the Lions. He is 60-42-2 (+1300) on his last 104 against-the-spread picks in games involving Detroit. Anyone who has followed him is WAY UP!
White knows Detroit tied the franchise record for victories this season and won its first division title since capturing the NFC Central in 1993. The Lions were third in total offense (394.8 yards), second in passing (258.9) and fifth in rushing (135.9) and scoring (27.1 points). Quarterback Jared Goff, who guided the Rams to an appearance in Super Bowl LIII, is second with 4,575 passing yards and fourth with 30 touchdown tosses.
The expert also is aware that Los Angeles got off to a 3-6 start this season, but won seven of eight games following its bye week to reach the postseason for the fifth time during coach Sean McVay's seven-year tenure. Matthew Stafford, who helped the Rams win the Super Bowl in his first year with the team after being acquired for Goff in March 2021, led the league with 15 touchdown passes from Weeks 12-17. Wideout Puka Nacua set NFL rookie records with 105 catches and 1,486 receiving yards.
