(Detroit, MI) - As the Detroit Lions enter their bye week in Week 9, sports enthusiasts are turning their attention to the futures betting options offered by DraftKings. With futures bets allowing fans to wager on outcomes that will take place in the future, the Lions' chances of making the playoffs, winning the NFC North, and even claiming the Super Bowl title are under close scrutiny. Let's take a closer look at the odds provided by DraftKings and the potential rewards for Lions fans.

The first futures bet available is on the Lions making the playoffs. To no one's surprise, the odds are overwhelmingly against it, at -10000. In practical terms, this means that if you bet $10 and the Lions make the playoffs, you will receive a mere 10 cents in winnings, along with your initial investment.

However, there is a more favorable outlook for Lions fans when it comes to winning the NFC North. The odds currently stand at -1200, indicating a higher probability compared to the playoffs bet. DraftKings acknowledges the Vikings as the next viable contender for the division title, but the gap between the two teams is significant.

For those who believe in an even greater triumph, the option to secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC comes with enticing +200 odds. Although the Eagles are currently favored by DraftKings to retain the top spot, the Lions have a favorable schedule in the second half of the season, potentially positioning them for a chance to claim the coveted seed.

Taking a step further, the Lions have +425 odds of winning the conference, which would require triumphing in the NFC Championship game. Undoubtedly, this outcome would be a remarkable achievement for the team and a dream come true for fans.

Looking at the Super Bowl, the Lions find themselves with the sixth-best odds at +1100. Although it may seem like a long shot, the mere fact that the Lions are in the discussion is a testament to their progress this season and the potential for an unforgettable run.

Moving beyond team success, individual accolades also take center stage. Lions head coach Dan Campbell is the front-runner for the Coach of the Year award, with +200 odds. Close behind is Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel (+275), followed by a notable gap to Jets' coach Robert Saleh (+600) and Texans' coach Demeco Ryans (+1000).

When it comes to NFL MVP honors, Lions' quarterback Jared Goff enters the conversation with +3500 odds. As expected, the award is usually dominated by quarterbacks, with Goff being one of nine signal-callers in the top 10. The only non-quarterback contender is 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey.

Furthermore, the Lions have two rookies in the mix for Offensive Rookie of the Year. Running back Jahymr Gibbs stands at +1200 odds, while tight end Sam LaPorta finds himself as an underdog with +5000 odds. The Lions' rookies have already shown promise, with Gibbs particularly catching attention after a breakout game.

It's clear that Lions fans have plenty to consider when it comes to placing futures bets. From team success to individual achievements, the odds provided by DraftKings indicate the growing confidence in the Lions' potential. While some outcomes may seem far-fetched, the unpredictable nature of sports often leads to unexpected stories of triumph. Only time will tell if the Lions can defy the odds and create history.

In the meantime, fans and bettors alike eagerly await the Lions' return in Week 10, as they continue their pursuit of a playoff berth and a potential Super Bowl run.
