Bears at Lions picks and predictions
Prediction
Lions 28, Bears 17
Moneyline
PASS.
The Lions (-550) should pick up the win here against their NFC North opponent, but such a heavy favorite is never worth the risk of betting on. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.
Against the spread
BET LIONS -10 (-115).
Detroit has covered the spread in 2 straight games and is 8-2 ATS in its last 10 games. It has 6 double-digit wins in the last 8 games. On the other hand, the Bears are only 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games. The Lions have also covered ATS in 3 of their last 5 games against the Bears.
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 48.5 (-110).
The Under has hit in 4 of Chicago’s last 6 games and is 7-4 for the Bears this season. The Under has also hit in 2 of the last 3 Chicago-Detroit matchups.
Detroit’s defense has been locked in of late, allowing just 12 points in its last 2 games combined.
This is a lean because the Lions have a very explosive offense that make betting the Under for any game a risk.
