The Chicago Bears (5-6) and Detroit Lions (4-7) are lined up for a Week 13 NFC North tussle Sunday. Kickoff at Soldier Field is slated for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we take a look at the early Week 13 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
The Lions head in off of a 41-25 loss to the Houston Texans Thursday. Detroit is 1-4 over its last five games, and defense has been a significant factor in the losses piling up. The Lions have coughed up 32.6 points per game over that stretch. On the road, in particular, Detroit’s inability to contain the run has been an issue. At home, the Lions have held foes to 3.8 yards per carry; abroad, they’ve yielded 5.1 YPC.
The Bears lost 41-25 at the Green Bay Packers Sunday and haven’t won since Week 6 (0-5 since). Chicago is 29th in the NFL in scoring (19.6 points per game), and the Bears’ ground game has been a big culprit in that lack of production. At Lambeau Field, Chicago rushed for 122 yards, breaking a string of seven games under the century mark. RB David Montgomery had 103 yards on 11 carries to lead the way. For the season, Chicago ranks 27th in the league, averaging just 96.6 rushing yards per contest.
