Odds watch: Lions remain slight underdogs vs. Bears in Week 10

The oddsmakers project a very close, low-scoring game between Detroit and Chicago

After splitting the first two divisional games on the slate in 2022, the Detroit Lions look to get above .500 in the NFC North with a Week 10 visit to the division-rival Chicago Bears.

The Lions are holding steady as 2.5-point underdogs at Tipico Sportsbook for Sunday’s matchup at Soldier Field. Given that the home team typically gets a 3-point bump in the odds, the game is effectively an even draw. Detroit’s money line wager is +120, compared to -140 for the host Bears.

The point line hasn’t moved much during the week, either. With a modest over/under total of 48.5, it’s definitely a game the bookmakers expect to be a close one. That’s typically been bad news for head coach Dan Campbell and the Lions, who didn’t capture a one-score win until last week’s 15-9 triumph over the Green Bay Packers.
