Week 15 of the NFL betting will see the Detroit Lions visiting Oakland to play the Oakland Raiders. This is shaping up to be a crossroads game as both squads are competing for a playoff berth. As the undefeated Packers have already won the division, the Lions are 8-5 and looking for a wild card placement. The Oakland Raiders at 7-6 are only a match behind the Broncos in their division and cannot afford to lose any further matches this year. The loser of this game will not be removed from the playoffs, but they will be viewed as a longshot as their odds will become mathematical.

Detroit is a hard squad to assess. They have had 5 losses, but they have come vs the better squads in the league. 3 matches back the Lions lost, but weren’t embarrassed by the champ Green Bay Packers. Two matches back they put up a credible effort vs the Saints, yet another formidable squad. Nonetheless, in their last game they struggled to eliminate the Vikings, a squad that has simply mustered two wins this year.

The Oakland Raiders have lost two consecutive matches. Two matches back they lost to the Dolphins; a match they should have won if they are truly a playoff contender. Their last game they lost to the Packers. The Oakland Raiders didn’t put up much of a fight, despite the fact that no one has defeated the Packers this year. Green Bay won effortlessly. Looking at both the Raider’s and the Lion’s effort vs Green Bay, it is obvious that the Detroit Lions are a better squad.
At the time of this writing there have been no key personal changes, despite the fact that the Lions will be getting their defensive tackle, Ndamukong Suh, back from a suspension that lasted two matches. The beginning line was Oakland Raiders -1. Now the Lions are at -1 at the internet sports book. Basically the wagering crowd is saying it is a coin flip, however the Lions appear to be a formidable wager in Week 15.
