Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Detroit Lions (12-2) visit the Chicago Bears (4-10) Sunday during NFL Week 16 action. Kickoff from Soldier Field is slated for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Lions vs. Bears odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Detroit saw its 11-game win streak snapped Sunday when the Buffalo Bills won a 48-42 shootout. The Lions still hold the king’s spot in the NFC Playoffs picture, though.

Chicago is on its own ridiculous run, though unfortunately, it’s the other end of the spectrum with an 8-game losing streak. They most recently went into hibernation during a 30-12 loss in Week 15 to the Minnesota Vikings.

The Bears almost upset the Lions in Detroit on Thanksgiving Day but lost 23-20 on inexcusable clock mismanagement that led to the firing of then-coach Matt Eberflus.

All 4 of the Bears’ wins this year came at Soldier Field, but will they prove able to keep it close with their intradivision rivals again?

Early weather prognoses for this game typically call for temperatures below 30 degrees but cloudy, with no precipitation. Stay tuned for any changes and adjust your betting accordingly based on new information.

Lions at Bears picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 34, Bears 17

Moneyline

The price on Lions ML (-350) has gone up 50 cents since Monday in our first look.

The narrative of Lions QB Jared Goff struggling on the road (and more specifically in outdoor stadiums) hasn’t affected the market’s confidence in Detroit to win straight up.

The Lions have become so heavily favored on the ML that bettors should look elsewhere for more optimal value.

PASS.

Against the spread

On the other hand, the lack of movement on the spread works well for Lions bettors. The Bears are a deeply flawed team, and while division games often bring out odd results in favor of underdogs, the Lions are simply better built on both sides of the ball.

Take advantage of the early optimism that the Bears shouldn’t be getting more than 6.5 points, and bet the other side.

All things equal, I would recommend waiting to see if any action moves in Chicago’s direction, then pounce on any Detroit discount. However, if you must act, the TD-with-a-hook points are worth giving to the favorites.

BET LIONS -6.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Bears QB Caleb Williams doesn’t have to do much to carry Chicago’s likely end of this point total. Though Detroit’s injury-riddled defense looks ripe for the picking, Chicago’s own defense will struggle to keep up with the Lions’ high-octane offense.

With the weather not looking like an issue as of publish time, I would even look to squeeze more value out of this with an alternate line on FanDuel Sportsbook: Over 50.5 (+120).

BET OVER 48 (-110) at BetMGM or BET OVER 50.5 (+120) at FanDuel.

Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Chicago Bears (4-9) meet the Minnesota Vikings (11-2) for Monday Night Football at U.S. Bank Stadium in Week 15. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Bears vs. Vikings odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Bears lost 38-13 last Sunday at the San Francicso 49ers as a 3-point underdog as the Over (43.5) cashed. It was the first game under interim head coach Thomas Brown after Matt Eberflus was relieved of his duties after a Thanksgiving Day disaster in Detroit.

Chicago has lost 7 games in a row, although it is 2-1-1 against the spread (ATS) in the past 4 outings, including a 30-27 overtime loss at home to the Vikings in the first meeting in Week 12 as the Over (39.5) cashed. The line pushed at most shops with the Bears as a 3-point underdog.

Minnesota doubled up the Atlanta Falcons 42-21 last week in a battle with old friend QB Kirk Cousins, covering as a 6-point favorite as the Over (46.5) cashed. Minnesota has won 6 in a row, but it is just 3-4-1 ATS in the past 8 games, while failing to cover in its only previous game as a favorite of 7 or more points. The Under is on a 4-2 run in the past 6 games, too.

Bears at Vikings picks and predictions

Prediction

Vikings 26, Bears 20

Moneyline

The Vikings (-350) will cost you 3 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s way too expensive, even at home in a prime-time game against an inferior opponent.

The Bears (+260) are banged up, and it’s a bit concerning that Swift carries a questionable tag into Monday’s game.

PASS.

Against the spread

The BEARS +7 (-110) are the play catching the points, and this would be even nicer if we could get 7 and a hook.

While it is concerning that Swift carries a questionable tag, if he were to sit, we might see rookie QB Caleb Williams and the pass offense go to a mostly aerial-based attack. That’s not an entirely bad thing, as the Vikings -7 (-110) rank 29th in NFL against the pass, allowing 250.6 yards per game through the air.

Over/Under

OVER 43.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

Again, we might see Chicago go to the air early and often, and that’s great news for Over bettors. And, when these teams met in Chitown in Week 12, we had a combined 57 points, halting a 3-0 Under run in the series.

The Bears have cashed high in 2 of the past 3 games, including the most recent road game last Sunday in San Francisco.

For the Vikings, the Over has hit in 2 of the past 3 games, while going 3-0 inside the division so far this season.

Chicago Bears at San Francisco 49ers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Chicago Bears at San Francisco 49ers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Chicago Bears (4-8) hit the West Coast to face the San Francisco 49ers (5-7) Sunday in the late-afternoon slate. Kickoff from Levi’s Stadium is set for 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Bears vs. 49ers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Bears nearly upset the 11-1 Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Day. They botched a play late in the game where they could have used a timeout and wasted precious time on the clock, which really shot them in the foot. It also cost coach Matt Eberflus his job as he was dismissed after the 23-20 defeat. QB Caleb Williams was impressive, going 20-for-39 for 256 yards, 3 TDs and 0 INTs. But it was Chicago’s sixth loss in a row.

The Niners dropped their third in a row as they couldn’t handle the blizzard-like conditions in Buffalo in a 35-10 loss to the Bills. They also lost RB Christian McCaffrey (knee) for the season, and RB Jordan Mason (shoulder) is also out for this one. They will turn to fourth-round pick Isaac Guerendo in the backfield.

Bears at 49ers picks and predictions

Prediction

Bears 24, 49ers 21

Moneyline

You don’t hear him talked about a lot because of the overnight sensation Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels became, but Williams is having a solid rookie season. He hasn’t thrown an interception in nearly 2 months.

Over the last 3 weeks, he has gone 75-for-117 (64.1%) for 827 yards (275.7 per game), 5 TDs and 0 INTs. He also rushed for 143 yards. These all came against playoff teams in the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings and Lions.

I’m picking the upset, but Williams is only part of the equation. How will the Bears stop the Niners? They’ll have to contain TE George Kittle, and the Bears are top-10 in defending the position over the last 5 weeks.

Take the BEARS +145.

Against the spread

I’m foregoing the spread since we’re picking the upset. I like CALEB WILLIAMS OVER 220.5 PASSING YARDS (-115). The Niners are severely banged up, and he has really thrown the ball well of late.

Over/Under

Both of these teams are Under teams. Chicago is 4-6 O/U in its last 10, and the Niners are 5-4-1. I have this sneaking Over, though, because the weather conditions will be a breath of fresh air for both teams. The Niners literally played in a blizzard in Buffalo last week, and while Chicago was in a dome for Thanksgiving, they had 3 straight games in the elements at Soldier Field beforehand.

Take the OVER 44 (-110).

First look: Chicago Bears at San Francisco 49ers odds and lines

Looking at Sunday’s Chicago Bears at San Francisco 49ers Week 14 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Chicago Bears (5-6) take on the San Francisco 49ers (5-7) Sunday in Week 14. Kickoff from Levi’s Stadium is set for 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we look at Bears vs. 49ers odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds before making our expert NFL picks and predictions later in the week.

The Bears just missed upsetting the 11-1 Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Day. They succumbed by a 23-20 final score but covered as 10-point dogs. The Bears dismissed coach Matt Eberflus as they dropped their sixth game in a row on an important sequence where they could have used a timeout. QB Caleb Williams was impressive, going 20-for-39 for 256 yards, 3 TDs and 0 INTs.

The Niners lost their third straight in a 35-10 defeat in a blizzard at the Buffalo Bills Sunday night. They also lost RB Christian McCaffrey to a potentially season-ending knee injury. RB Jordan Mason stepped up and rushed 13 times for 78 yards. The Niners couldn’t get anything going in the snowy conditions otherwise.

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.

PASS.

There is minimal value on the Vikings (-185) to win on Sunday.

Against the spread

BET VIKINGS -3.5 (-105).

Minnesota has covered in 2 of its last 3 games and is 7-3 against the spread (ATS) this season. It has covered in 7 of its 8 wins. Chicago has failed to cover in 3 of its last 4 while scoring 9 or fewer points in 2 of its last 3.

The Green Bay Packers (6-3) face the Chicago Bears (4-5) on Sunday in the first of 2 meetings in the final 8 games of the season. Kickoff from Soldier Field is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Packers vs. Bears odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

These NFC North rivals both have endured erratic QB play, but the Packers have survived Jordan Love‘s struggles with health more effectively. Caleb Williams has endured rookie struggles behind a weak Bears offensive line.

Green Bay comes into this important NFC North showdown after a 24-14 loss to the Detroit Lions last week that halted a 4-game win streak. Chicago lost its third straight contest in Week 10 (19-3 to the New England Patriots) and have looked bewildered since falling to a Washington Commanders last-second Hail Mary touchdown in Week 8.

Prediction

Packers 24, Bears 17

Moneyline

I would’ve thrown a sprinkle bet on the Bears if the moneyline were +300 or better. The current +200 is not elevated enough for me to care.

PASS.

Against the spread

Both squads are middling ATS (Chicago 4-4-1, Green Bay 4-5), but I’m going to side with Matt LaFleur’s Pack following a bye week against Matt Eberflus.

Lay the wood. BET GREEN BAY -5.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Even on the back of both teams’ rough QB play and uninspiring Over/Under records (Green Bay 4-4-1, Chicago 3-6), this matchup lines up to surpass what feels like a generous total.

Bettors should readily buy low that the talented skill players on each side will step up, especially the Packers’ crop coming out of their bye week.

BET OVER 40.5 (-110)

Chicago Bears at Arizona Cardinals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Chicago Bears at Arizona Cardinals odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Chicago Bears (4-3) are on the road in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals (4-4). Kickoff from State Farm Stadium is Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Bears vs. Cardinals odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Bears are coming off a heartbreaking 18-15 road loss to the Washington Commanders, failing to cover the 1-point spread as underdogs. After scoring a go-ahead touchdown with 25 seconds left in the game, Commanders QB Jayden Daniels threw a 52-yard Hail Mary TD pass as time expired. The loss snapped a 3-game winning streak.

The Cardinals won for the second straight week and third time in 4 games on Sunday. They beat the Miami Dolphins 28-27 as 4.5-point road dogs on a walk-off 34-yard field goal from K Chad Ryland, his third game-winning field goal in the final 2 minutes of a game in October.

Bears at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Cardinals 23, Bears 20

Moneyline

The Bears have not allowed more than 21 points this season, but they also are winless on the road and haven’t scored more than 16 points in those games.

This game is when those scoring trends change.

The Bears are No. 4 in scoring defense, allowing 17.0 points per game. But their 1 weakness is against the run. They allowed 4.7 yards per attempt and the Cardinals average 5.2 when they run the ball.

The Cardinals have allowed 20 or more points 5 times this season.

I’m giving the edge to the home team, and because the Cardinals have a pair of 1-point wins in their last 4 games, the -125 odds aren’t too much of a difference to lose a bet over 1 point.

BET CARDINALS (-125).

Against the spread

All 3 of the Bears’ losses have been at least 3 points, but the Cardinals’ 2 wins by 1-point in their last 4 games makes me want to avoid the spread.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Bears haven’t allowed over 21 points all season and have not scored more than 16 on the road. Even surpassing those numbers slightly won’t get this game Over the projected total.

All 3 Chicago losses had 35 or fewer points.

BET UNDER 44.5 (-110).

Bears at Commanders picks and predictions

Prediction

Bears 28, Commanders 27

Moneyline

PASS.

Chicago will have the upper-hand if Daniels is unable to play, even though Mariota did play well vs. Carolina. Chicago has also been figuring things out offensively lately, which is something that should scare the Commanders whether Daniels is available to play or not.

If Daniels is available to play for Washington, then I would be fully backing the Commanders, which I recommend if Daniels is good to go. But you might not know that until right before kickoff.

Against the spread

BET COMMANDERS +1.5 (-110).

Washington has the better offense and is the more tested team as the Commanders have played much more difficult competition than Chicago. The Commanders are the better team and have been playing better throughout this season, so expect for Washington to fight here.

This bet gets even safer if Daniels plays and the line drop from Commanders +3 indicates his is likely to play. I would say to consider divvying up between the spread and ML if he is able to play.

Over/Under

BET OVER 43 (-110).

Both of these squads have solid rookie QBs and efficient offenses, and neither team is anything special defensively, so the Over is safe here.

The Over has also hit in 3 straight games for Chicago and is 4-1 in Washington’s last 5 games.

If Daniels doesn’t play, I would still lean Over, but not feel as strongly because a lot of Washington’s offensive dominance is because of Daniels and his dual-threat ability.

Jaguars vs. Bears picks and predictions

Prediction

Bears 27, Jaguars 20

Moneyline

PASS.

While not by much the Bears (-120) spread has better odds.

Against the spread

BET BEARS -1 (-110).

Chicago’s offense has been clicking well recently with the return of WR Keenan Allen which has opened up the field for Williams and Moore. It has scored 24 or more points in back-to-back weeks and 3 of its 5 games this season. Against a struggling Jaguars team, which has allowed 20 or more points in 4 of its 5 games this season, expect the rookie QB to find success overseas on Sunday morning.

Over/Under

BET OVER 44.5 (-110).

The Bears have hit the Over in back-to-back weeks scoring a combined 60 points while their defense has allowed 17 or more points in 4 of their 5 games. With multiple cornerbacks sidelined for this week’s matchup, the Jaguars, who have scored 20 or more points in back-to-back weeks, will be able to score enough points to assist the Over.
