Detroit Lions - NFL Betting Analysis
The Lions head into week 10 looking for another win, as they picked up 6 point victory over the Green Bay Packers (15-9). With the win, Detroit was able to cover the spread, as they were 4.0 point underdogs. With an over-under betting line of 49, the two teams fell below that figure as they combined for 24. Despite being the 4.0-point underdogs heading into the game, the Lions held a 2 point lead heading into the 4th quarter. Through 8 games, the Lions have an ATS record of 4-4. So far, they have an over-under record of 5-3. This week's betting total of 48.5 is right in line with their previous games.
As the Lions prepare to take on Chicago, they have played well on offense, ranking 12th in points per game at 23.5. Look for the team to put together another strong offensive performance, as they are facing a Bears defense ranked 25th in points per game allowed. This season, Detroit has been one of the better passing teams in the league, averaging 243.12 yards per game through the air. Although the Bears' defense has been able to limit opposing teams in the passing game, Detroit should still be able to continue to generate big plays through the pass. On the ground, the Lions should also be in line for a good performance, as they are one of the better rushing teams in the league and are facing a defense that has its problem stopping the run.
Chicago Bears - NFL Betting Analysis
Heading into week 9, the Chicago Bears are looking to bounce back from a loss to the Dolphins by a score of 35-32, giving them a loss over a non-conference win. Chicago entered the game as 4.0 point underdogs, giving them an ATS win despite the straight-up loss. With their combined 46 points, the two teams exceeded the betting over-under number of 46. The Bears were not able to make a comeback in last week's game, as they trailed Miami by a score of 35-25 heading into the final quarter. Through 9 games, the Bears have an ATS record of 4-4-1. So far, they have an over-under record of 5-4. This week's betting total of 48.5 is higher than the line in their previous games.
As the Bears prepare to take on Detroit, they are ranked 21st in points per game at 20.78. Look for the team to put together a strong offensive performance vs a Lions defense giving up 29 points per game. Although the Bears come into the game ranked just 32nd in pass yards per game, they will benefit from facing a Detroit secondary that is vulnerable through the air. We expect Chicago to have an above-average performance in the passing attack. On the ground, the Bears lead the NFL in rush play percentage. So far, they have handed the ball off on 59% of their offensive plays, averaging 195 yards per contest.
