The Detroit Lions will look for their second-straight win against an NFC North opponent when they head to the Windy City to take on the Chicago Bears in Week 10.

The Lions are coming off an upset win over the Green Bay Packers, and the Chicago Bears put up a valiant performance against the Miami Dolphins before falling short by a final score of 35-32.

This will serve as the first of two games between these teams this season. Let's dive into the odds.

Lions vs. Bears Prediction and Pick

The Lions and Bears have been two of the worst defenses over the past few weeks. Over their last three games, the Lions rank 29th in opponent yards per play, allowing 6.2 yards per snap, and the Bears rank dead last in opponent yards per play, allowing 6.8 yards per snap.

Both offenses have also been some of the best rushing attacks in the NFL. The Bears are averaging 5.4 yards per carry, good for second in the league, and the Lions are averaging 5.0, good for eighth in the NFL. They should be able to attack the two defenses, which rank 26th and 28th in opponent yards per carry.

Finally, the Lions have been great in the red zone, scoring a touchdown on 71.43% of their red zone trips. Meanwhile, neither defense has been good in the red zone, ranking 24th and 28th in opponent red zone touchdown scoring percentage.

With the total set in the 40's, I love the OVER in this game.
