The Lions look to bounce back when they square off with the division-rival Bears on Sunday afternoon. With David Mongomery nursing an MCL injury, Jahmyr Gibbs steps up to be the unrivaled top back on the roster.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Detroit is currently a 7-point favorite, with the game’s total set at 48 points. Below, I’ve detailed my favorite prop bet centered around Gibbs for this NFC North clash.
Best Jahmyr Gibbs Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Jahmyr Gibbs 2+ Touchdowns (+110)
Detroit found something with having a pair of rushers with distinct styles to utilize in different situations. Jahmyr Gibbs is the supremely more talented option and has been a more effective offensive weapon. He has a lot of Christian McCaffrey in his game, using quick jump cuts and jukes to get through the first level before finding enough room to hit the jets for impressive chunk gains.
Gibbs is almost impossible to tackle in a phone booth and is a true home run hitter out of the backfield. His touchdown upside has suffered because Dan Campbell and Ben Johnson have opted for the more physical Montgomery near the goalline. Despite being smaller in stature, Gibbs can bounce off tackles and has plenty of success in the red area. With a dramatic uptick in production on the way, Gibbs should be the primary focus in scoring territory and getting the volume needed to punch in two touchdowns.
