From the article

With the Jacksonville Jaguars, Etienne started 16 games and ran for over 57 yards in nine of those games. Last year, the Saints had four players combine for seven games with over 57 yards. Detroit allowed an average of 114.5 rushing yards per game last season, but that was with a defensive line that lacked depth and talent to stop it. This year, defensive tackle Alim McNeill is fully healthy and has recovered from his torn ACL, and Detroit signed defensive end DJ Wonnum and drafted edge Derrick Moore.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Etienne under 56.5 rushing yards favored; Lions defense improved and Saints run game weak.

Etienne under 56.5 rushing yards at -113 is the recommended bet. With Jacksonville, Etienne started 16 games and ran for over 57 yards in only nine of those games; the Saints as a whole managed just 1,603 rushing yards last season. Detroit's defense, bolstered by healthy Alim McNeill (recovered from torn ACL), newly signed DJ Wonnum, and drafted edge Derrick Moore, is expected to return to its run-stopping form after allowing 114.5 rushing yards per game in 2025 with a depleted defensive line.
