We are almost at the busiest time of the sports calendar. Each day will be filled with a different sport and something that you can’t miss on television. Tonight is one of those nights as the Lions take on the Bills on Thursday Night Football. Fanatics Sportsbook has an extra way for new users to enjoy the game with promo code FOXNEWS350, dishing out $350 in FanCash when you place a $20 bet on tonight’s game.
New to sports betting? Here’s why you might want to pick the Lions. Detroit comes into this game with a little bit to prove after almost letting a victory slip away last week. Jahmyr Gibbs, the star running back, will cause fits for any defense, and Buffalo is no exception. Buffalo’s secondary looked a bit shaky against Houston, and Jared Goff will pepper Amon-Ra St. Brown with targets against them.
The Bills make a compelling case as well. No one likes to lose a debut, and the team is playing their first-ever home game in their new stadium. Josh Allen is one of the most elite quarterbacks in the game, beating you with his arm and his legs. The Bills didn’t get much of their running game going against the Texans, but the Saints proved that the Lions can be attacked in the trenches. If you’re going to pick a trio to go against the Lions, Allen, James Cook, and Kahlil Shakir are as good a choice as any in the league.
