Plenty of Points Will be Scored When Lions Face Bears in NFC North Battle

The Detroit Lions will be seeking their third win of the season on Sunday when they take on a fellow NFC North team, the Chicago Bears.

Both teams have six losses each this season, but Chicago has one more win with Detroit already having their BYE week. Despite this game involving a couple of losers, we still have an opportunity to make some money.

Let's dive into the latest odds for this NFC North showdown.

Lions vs. Panthers Prediction and Best Bet

It's strange to type this, but the Bears have become a big time OVER team, which is something that I don't think has been the case since I started betting on the NFL 11 years ago.

Their defense has become one of the worst in the NFL. Over each team's last three games, the Bears ranks dead last in the NFL in opponent yards per play, allowing 6.8 yards per snap. The Lions defense isn't much better, ranking 29th in opponent yards per play over the last three games at 6.2.

Both defenses are also terrible in the red zone, ranking 24th and 28th in opponent red zone touchdown scoring percentage.

With the total for this game still set in the 40's, I love the OVER. Both offenses should be able to run the ball with ease on Sunday. They rank second and eighth in yards per carry, and the two defenses rank 26th and 28th in opponent yards per carry.
