When Did The Lions Last Make The NFC Championship Game?

The Detroit Lions are set to host an NFC Divisional Round matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this weekend. So when exactly did the Lions last make an NFC Championship game appearance? We have to go back to the 1991 season, when Barry Sanders led Detroit to a win over the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Divisional Round, resulting in a berth to the NFC Championship game against Washington.

How To Bet On The Detroit Lions

To bet on the Detroit Lions and their ability to advance into the NFC Championship game and potentially the Super Bowl, go to any of these major sports betting apps and register a new account if you are a new customer. 

Once registered, make a minimum qualifying deposit, then place a qualifying wager to receive bonus bets that are eligible to stake on NFL games, including Detroit vs. Tampa Bay. There are no shortage of ways to bet on the Detroit Lions in NFL betting markets.

Wager NFL odds, like spread, moneyline, and total, with oddsmakers currently laying -6.5 with the Detroit Lions in the NFC Divisional Round. A -6.5-point spread indicates that the Lions should win the game handily, but they must win by at least seven points to win the bet. Their moneyline odds are set at -290, since moneyline bets only need a team to win outright to settle a winning wager, which means a $100 wager nets $34.48 of profit. The point total line at 48.5 is -110 odds, suggesting oddsmakers expect a high-scoring game played indoors.

Wager Lions Odds In NFL Futures Markets

There are a variety of playoff specials, playoff props, and Super Bowl odds available to wager in the NFL futures markets on most major online sportsbooks. 

For instance, under Detroit Lions playoff player specials on FanDuel Sportsbook, users can wager plus odds on a multitude of NFL player props, like running back Jahmyr Gibbs to record 100+ receiving yards, tight end Sam LaPorta to score 3 or more touchdowns, and Jared Goff to throw for 1000+ passing yards.

Explore the Detroit Lions Super Bowl odds in the NFL futures markets, which are currently sitting at a good value, giving bettors +900 odds at FanDuel. Compare this number to +175 for San Francisco, +270 for Baltimore, and +490 for Buffalo, and it's easy to see why Detroit is drawing a lot of betting volume at various online sportsbooks.

If you don't have an online sportsbook account for a particular sports betting app you'd like to wager on, register a new online sportsbook account and enter their active promo code to get bonus bets before placing wagers on Detroit Lions odds as they attempt to advance to their first NFC Championship game since 1991.
