Prior to the start of every single NFL season, we all pick the teams that we think could be in contention for a Super Bowl. MyBookie Sportsbook NFL Odds, American Football NFL Lines | Detroit Lions vs Chicago Bears

In that mix, we very often find a dark horse team or two, with the Detroit Lions very much the secy pick at the start of this season. It was how they ended last season that had people thinking they might be ready to take a major step forward, and to this point in the season, things appear to be going to plan. The Lions, though, have a potential banana peel game ahead of them this weekend with a trip to Chicago to face the Bears. On paper, this should be a win for the Lions, but divisional games often have a tendency to not necessarily go as expected. The bookies seem to think that this will be a close one, as they have the Lions in as a modest 3-point favorite on Sunday. The point total for this one has been set at 40.

Detroit Lions

Having so many people believing that you could be the dark horse team of the season tends to deliver a lot of pressure, but the Lions have done a pretty decent job of handling it to this point in the season. Detroit has control of the division right now, sitting at 9-3, which is 3 wins better than their closest rival. In reality, they would need to have a major late season collapse to miss out on the playoffs, but they will be looking to get the division locked up as quickly as possible, which will happen if they can take care of their divisional rivals. They have been solid in these divisional matchups, winning 7 of the last 8 versus the North on their way to 8 wins in their last 10 games. The Lions have also been a solid pick against the spread, covering in 15 of their last 20 games overall. The OVER has hit in 4 of their last 6 visits to Chicago.

Chicago Bears

The Bears are very much on the brink of being officially eliminated from playoff contention after going 4-8 through their first 12 games of the season. They are, though, not going down without a fight and are coming off a big win over the Minnesota Vikings last weekend, with the defense creating 4 turnovers in the win. The Bears have had some decent moments throughout the season, but they have not really been able to sustain any sort of consistent winning streak, which makes me nervous about playing them this weekend. The Bears have won 4 of their last 6, but they are also just 2-10 SU in their last 12 games at home. While they have covered in 4 of their last 6, they are just 3-12 ATS in their last 15 divisional games. The OVER has hit in 7 of their last 9 games in the month of December.

This is certainly a tricky one for the Detroit Lions, but with the division crown very much within their grasp, I have a hard time believing they won’t come out with all guns blazing. I like Detroit to get the win, covering in the process.
