The Detroit Lions host the Philadelphia Eagles to open the 2022 NFL season for both teams at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday at Ford Field. The Lions were featured on HBO's Hard Knocks and will be looking to notch their first winning season since 2017. The Eagles have high expectations in 2022, and will once again be led by quarterback Jalen Hurts. Philadelphia ended last year second in the NFC East, while the Lions finished fourth in the NFC North. 

Philadelphia is favored by 5.5 points in the latest Lions vs. Eagles odds from Caesars Sportsbook, and the over/under is set at 48.5. Before you make any Eagles vs. Lions picks and predictions, you'll want to see what the SportsLine Projection Model is saying.
