Bears at Lions picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 28, Bears 24

Moneyline

PASS.

The Lions have the more efficient and effective offense, and Chicago may be short-handed defensively without Edmunds. Avoid a moneyline play as Detroit isn't worth the risk as a heavy favorite.

Against the spread

LEAN BEARS +7.5 (-105).

The Bears didn't cover early in the season because of Fields' presence. It was their defense. However, they have allowed sub-20 points in 3 of their last 5 games and could limit Goff and company enough to hang within a touchdown. They are 3-2-1 ATS over their last 6.

The Lions are 7-2 ATS and 6-1 ATS over their last 7. They should be a public darling in this game, but they do struggle against mobile quarterbacks, as seen in a 38-6 loss to Baltimore in Week 7. Expect Fields to be able to keep this game close.

Take BEARS +7.5 (-105).

Over/Under

BET OVER 47.5 (-115).

The Lions have gone Over in 4 of their last 6 games and have scored at least 34 points in 3 of those 6. Their offense is efficient and has ample playmakers who should be able to break loose on Chicago.

The Bears are 3-2 O/U on the road and should get a boost from the return of the dual-threat Fields. The Bears scored 20 or more in 3 of their first 5 games. Expect his return to spark the team's offense.

Take OVER 47.5 (-115).
