Lions shouldn't be a TD favorite to anyone, but I agree this will be a tough game for a rookie QB making his first start on the road. ESPN states Darnold is the youngest QB to start week 1, the first rookie QB to start on MNF week1, and here's what happened to all the other youngsters who made their first start during week1.
From ESPN:
2018 Sam Darnold 21 years, 97 days ?
1993 Drew Bledsoe 21 years, 203 days Lost
2009 Matthew Stafford21 years, 218 days Lost
2017 DeShone Kizer 21 years, 250 days Lost
2015 Jameis Winston 21 years, 250 days Lost
Looks like the Jets are going to lose tonight, but by how many points?

Talking about rookies i bet on usc against stanford the qb from usc is real rookie.Should been senior at mater dei high school. School is in town next to me .Catholic school recruit whoever they want kid was gatorade high school player of the year. He graduated as junior .so dont bet on usc by way i got lions on pick & rams under on teaser. My take lions against rookie
If the rookie QB was going against a top notch D... and if it wasn't ideal (dome & artificial turf) conditions, then you look at that aspect.
But the Lions are not a good defensive team at all, and in a nice cozy dome passing is easier than in a windy hostile environment.
If the Jets were visiting Jacksonville, Minny, Baltimore, Rams, Carolina... then, ouch.
