Point Spread: -4.50 | -110.00 Detroit (Away)
Result: Win
Point Spread: -4.50 | -110.00 Detroit (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Detroit Lions.
The Lions are in a dog fight with Green Bay for first place in the NFC North, and they aren't going to pull any punches in Chicago against a Bears team that has lost three straight by double digits. The Bears have decided to bench Jay Cutler, but throwing an inexperienced Jimmy Clausen into the fire against one of the league's top defenses might not help matters.
The Lions rank 1st overall against the run, allowing opponents to average just 63.8 yards per game on the ground. They also have a ferocious pass rush, with 39 sacks (6th in the NFL).
Forget about all Chicago's injuries, their terrible defensive numbers and the fact that they lost to the Lions 34-17 just a few weeks ago. The Bears biggest problem is the fact that the players and the coaching staff are not on the same page. Head coach Marc Trestman has lost the support of his players, as well as his assistants, and it looks as if several players have given up, and are just going through the motions.
There doesn't appear to be any fight left in this Bears team, and I expect to see another blowout in Chicago.
Take DET.
