Lions and Jets meet after contrasting Week 2 losses
Detroit hosts New York on Sunday, with both teams seeking to move to 2–1 after losing in Week 2.
The Detroit Lions host the New York Jets on Sunday in an NFL Week 3 game scheduled to air on FOX. Both teams won their opening games before losing in Week 2.
Detroit beat New Orleans 31–30, then fell to Buffalo 41–31. Fox Sports says the Lions averaged 31 points per game across those first two weeks, while allowing 457.5 yards per game.
The Jets lost 20–17 in overtime to Green Bay after leading 17–7 early in the fourth quarter. Fox Sports reports that New York has allowed an average of 197 yards per game, the lowest figure in the league; those defensive numbers came against Tennessee and Green Bay.
Fox Sports points to Detroit’s 17–6 record in regular-season games following a loss since 2022, with an average winning margin of 14.1 points, as support for its prediction of a convincing Lions win. That is the outlet’s forecast, not a confirmed result.
The source lists betting markets but does not provide the odds or a specific spread or total. It also discloses that Fox Sports may receive compensation from sports betting partners.
