One of the most improved teams this season in online NFL lines will probably be the Lions and they should not be overlooked in 2010 NFL preseason odds. 
The Lions are longshots in NFL betting to win the NFC North and they’re also extreme longshots to win the Super Bowl at 125-1. Detroit will be better this season and it may show up straight away when they compete at Pittsburgh in 2010 NFL preseason wagering.
2010 NFL preseason odds will list Detroit as underdogs in their first 2 preseason games at Pittsburgh and at Denver however the Lions will be liked in their last 2 at home against Cleveland and Buffalo. The Lions are still not on par with the other teams in the NFC North however they are getting closer. Detroit obtained wide receiver Nate Burleson, tight end Tony Scheffler and also defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch and others and they received defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and running back Jahvid Best in the draft.
Detroit already has a excellent player in Calvin Johnson and this year he will get some assistance as Burleson should take some of the stress off him. Matthew Stafford will be better in his 2nd season and Scheffler is a solid tight end that will offer him a safety valve target. The difficulty for Detroit is their offensive line which still needs development. Getting Rob Sims from Seattle will help however the Lions still need more.
While the Detroit defense does have some promise for 2010, the defense is still a big difficulty. In each one of the last four years, the Lions have been awful on defense. They should be better this season, which is the excellent news. The addition of Suh already makes them far better. They took him with the 2nd pick in the NFL Draft. The Lions also received Corey Williams from Green Bay and he will also help. If Vanden Bosch can regain his form, the Lions have the makings of a very excellent defensive line. Due to the fact the secondary is awful, the Lions need a fine defensive line.
The Lions are not going to roll over vs teams this season in 2010 NFL preseason wagering or in the regular season based on the enhancements they’ve made. They may even get a road win throughout the regular season. The Lions have not won a road game since October of 2007.
This season will be the franchise’s the 77th as the Detroit Lions and the 81st season in the NFL. The squad was initially based in Portsmouth, Ohio and named the Portsmouth Spartans. The squad accrued the 2nd worst record in the league with a 2-14 record in 2009. That was with head coach Jim Schwartz, who’ll be coaching again this year. The squad hopes to rebound from this awful record. However, the Lions aren’t very well known for their ability to rebound. In 2008, they became the only squad in NFL history to lose all 16 games throughout the regular season. Having lost 19 games in a row from 2007 to 2009, they also hold the 2nd longest regular season losing streak in NFL history.
