David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs dominate the Jaguars

THE Detroit Lions the offense did just enough to escape Houston with a thrilling victory. The victory was not without its challenges, however, as quarterback Jared Goff threw five interceptions and the offense remained neutral for much of the first half.

As a result, returning home to face Jacksonville in Week 11 provides an opportunity for the team to reestablish his rhythm as one of the best in the league on the offensive side of the ball.

Much of the team’s success lies in its elite tandem of running backs David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs. Together, they offer Detroit a 1-2 punch that allows both to avoid carrying a large number of carries while still providing the offense with a multi-faceted attack.

With the Jaguars sputtering, the Lions could use their running game to establish dominance. In fact, the lead editor of PlayILottery Drew Ellis thinks Montgomery and Gibbs reach the end zone in Sunday’s game.

Gibbs has 727 rushing yards and seven touchdowns this year, while Montgomery has 520 rushing yards and eight touchdowns this year.

Currently, the same Parlay game of both Gibbs and Montgomery as all-time touchdown scorers are currently listed at (+154) odds on Draft Kings Sportsbook.

“The best bets have gone well this season (7-2), so I’m getting a little more adventurous this week. The Lions return home intent on getting the offense back on track to becoming one of the best in the NFL,” Ellis told OnSI of the Lions. “To do that, it needs to get back to being a dominant ground attack to set up play-action passes. Expect David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs to both see a good number of carries against a poor Jacksonville defense. In three of the four home games in 2024, both backs have scored at least one touchdown. I think that’s a strong possibility again this week. A quick game of touchdowns at any time for both gives you solid odds. of +154, while Montgomery has been the reliable back finishing long drives.”
