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.

Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions odds, picks and predictions

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

The Chicago Bears (3-12) face the Detroit Lions (7-8) Sunday in an NFC North matchup on Sunday in Week 17. Kickoff at Ford Field is at 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Bears vs. Lions odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Bears lost 35-13 to the Buffalo Bills in Week 16, failing to cover as 8-point underdogs at home. Chicago has lost 8 straight games.

The Lions were defeated 37-23 by the Carolina Panthers in Week 16 as they fell short as 2.5-point road favorites. Detroit needs every win it can get in the final 2 weeks as the Lions are currently half a game behind the Washington Commanders for the No. 7 playoff seed in the NFC.

Bears at Lions picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 34, Bears 24

Moneyline

Go ahead and AVOID the moneyline in this game with the Lions being heavy favorites at home. Taking Detroit to secure the victory straight up isn’t worth the risk considering the minimal profit you’ll receive if the Lions win.

Against the spread

LIONS -6 (-111) is an intriguing wager despite Detroit getting blown out by Carolina in Week 16. QB Jared Goff has been much better at home this season and you can expecting him to play well against a team that has lost 8 straight.

The Bears are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Lions are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall.

Over/Under

This game understandably has the highest projected total in Week 17, so I’m siding with OVER 52 (-112). The Bears and the Lions will be playing in a dome and these are the bottom-2 teams in points allowed this season.

The Bears have gone Over in 5 straight games following a game where they scored fewer than 15 points. The Lions have gone Over in each of their last 4 games against an NFC team.

The Lions beat the Bears 31-30 in Week 10.
