The Lions are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games in November and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Bears are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 7-19 ATS in their last 26 vs. NFC. The over is 7-3 in Lions last 10 games overall. The over is 4-1 in Bears last 5 games overall. The Lions are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings in Chicago. The underdog is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.
I’m not excited to lay chalk with the Chicago Bears, but their offense has come along these last few weeks, and it looks like things are starting to click for Fields. That’s good news for the Bears when going up against a Lions defense that’s 32nd in total defense and 32nd in scoring defense. The Lions are the worst defense in the league. I have no choice but to lay the reasonable number with the Bears at home.
