Official Detroit Lions Hard Knocks Prop Bets

If you see a sprinkler going off and immediately think of Hard Knocks are you even a Football Guy? Hard Knocks is a legendary show for all, the drama of a undrafted rookie trying to achieve a lifelong dream, the inspiring work ethic of the teams star player, to the unlikely internet hero who does a weird thing with his big belly which leads to a 60 year old lifelong coach to become the number one trending sports topic on twitter (shout the out GOAT Bob Wiley).

Sprinkle in the 2022 Detroit Lions a team built by the definition of adversity and grit, inspired by the ultimate football guy head coach and a city that’s absolutely hammered off the Blue Kool-Aid and you just created the potion for potentially the greatest Hard Knocks season ever . BUT….they’re missing one thing to help make this show just a bit more interesting, gambling ! (responsibly). So your boy Helmet Hank, spent months in the lab breaking down film of old Hard Knocks episodes and talking to actual Lions fans about rumors and storylines from their perspective of the team (a task even their closest family members refuse to do) and I painstakingly came up with the ultimate Detroit Lions Hard Knocks prop bets to increase your viewing pleasure. Lions will premiere on Hard Knocks on August 9th @ 10PM on HBO (and available to stream on HBO Max after initial airing).

Now there are somethings I cant included since the show is pretaped, I wont have fan favorites like, first player to be cut or undrafted player to make the team (sorry). And if you prefer you can print off the prop bets and follow them at home.
