The 0-16 season is a record that will never be broken unless the NFL goes to 17 or 18 games, so maybe the best thing for the Lions to do is say \u201cf-it\u201d and think about 2009.<\/p>\n<p>Any team that gives up 517 points in 16 games (the Steelers have yielded 492 in the last two seasons total) better makes some moves on that side of the ball, and the Lions have been active in free agency. On board now are OLB Julian Peterson, cornerback Philip Buchanan and MLB Larry Foote. Louis Delmas, taken with the first pick in round 2 of the draft, may be the top safety taken.<\/p>\n<p>While the defense can\u2019t possibly get worse, all eyes will be on top draft choice Matthew Stafford.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.beted.com\/8d0e43dd-2c74\/promland\/0512\/0512GEN.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 2px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/banners.beted.com\/images\/banners\/MLB\/MLBGEN1M250X250.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"betED\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a> If he turns into another Joey Harrington, Detroit fans will be wearing bags again and new coach Jim Schwartz will be gone by 2011.<\/p>\n<p>The Lions are re-working their offensive line by signing other teams\u2019 castoffs, but if Stafford winds up starting and gets any time to throw, WR Calvin Johnson should put up some decent numbers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Surprising stat<\/strong>: The Lions won all 4 of their exhibition games last season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Team strengths<\/strong>: For some unexplainable reason, the Lions seemed to play pretty well in their division last season. They could have easily beaten division champ Minnesota twice. If Stafford gets playing time early, he and Johnson could make things uncomfortable for secondaries in the NFC North. Also, Matt Millen is no longer making personnel decisions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Team Weakness<\/strong>: The Dolphins went from 1-15 in 2007 to 11-5 and a playoff spot last season. The Lions are just too disorganized at this point to hope for anything approaching that type of turnaround.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lions 2009 Season Win Total Prediction &#8211; 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Next Up: <\/strong><a href=\"\/blog\/nfl\/2009-buccaneers-season-win-total-odds\/\"><strong>Tampa Bay Bucs<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ready to start NFL Betting Online today?<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/go\/bovada\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN betED.COM &#8211; ONE OF OUR TOP RATED ONLINE SPORTSBOOKS &#8211; 15% SIGN UP BONUS FOR SPORTS BETTING ONLINE<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong><em>Lawrence Paul is a regular contributor to the Cappers Picks Blog, and is a free-lance gambling and travel writer from Massachusetts.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick article by Lawrence Paul detailing the Detroit Lions 2009 Season win total odds for over under nfl betting futures&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":80,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[14511,14498,14517,3023,14512,14528,14513,14514,14515,14516,826,14500,14518,12419,14495],"class_list":["post-11130","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nfl","tag-2009-lions-season-win-total-odds","tag-2009-nfl-football-future-lines","tag-detroit-lions-predictions-2009","tag-football-predictions","tag-lions-odds","tag-lions-odds-to-win-nfc-north","tag-lions-picks","tag-lions-predictions","tag-lions-win-total-lines","tag-lions-wins-2009","tag-nfl-future-odds","tag-nfl-over-under-betting","tag-odds-detroit-lions-season","tag-overunder-season-win-totals","tag-season-win-total-odds"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11130","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/80"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11130"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11130\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11136,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11130\/revisions\/11136"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11130"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
