Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions Preview & Picks

Detroit are tipped to cover as they finally end their Thanksgiving Day losing run.

The Lions can run the ball over this Chicago defense and the Bears’ lack of discipline and detail is likely to result in the hosts pulling away.

  • Detroit Lions are 10-1 this season
  • Detroit Lions are 9-2-0 ATS through 11 games
  • Chicago Bears are 1-3 against Detroit under Matt Eberflus
  • The Under has cashed in 4 of the previous 6 meetings

Head To Head

  • Chicago Bears lead the all-time series 105-78-5
  • Chicago Bears won 28-13 when the two teams last met in December 2023

Chicago Bears Form

Chicago go into this Thanksgiving Day clash having conjured up another heart-breaking way to lose and take their skid to five games.

The Bears made a promising start to the season with four wins in their first six games, but it has been all downhill since they returned from London.

They gave up a last gasp ‘Hail Mary’ at Washington to lose 18-15, and then produced a couple of pitiful performances as they lost 29-9 in Arizona and 19-3 at home to New England.

That loss to the Patriots resulted in Chicago firing their offensive co-ordinator, and despite an improved offensive showing a week later, they had a walk-off field goal blocked to lose 20-19 to Green Bay.

Chicago then staged a sensational last-gasp fightback to force overtime against Minnesota last weekend, only to lose 30-27.

Detroit Lions Form

Detroit are the betting favorites to win the first time in franchise history thanks to a nine-game win streak that has propelled them to 10-1.

The Lions failed to build on a season-opening win as they lost 20-16 at home to Tampa Bay, but since then they have been on a tear.

They won 20-13 in Arizona, and then followed up a 42-29 home win over Seattle with big road wins against Dallas, 47-9, and Minnesota, 31-29.

Detroit’s streak continued with a 52-14 demolition of Tennessee, before they went back out on the road to beat Green Bay 24-14 and Houston 26-23.

The Lions have since taken their win streak to nine games by crushing Jacksonville 52-6 at home and beating Indianapolis 24-6 on the road.

Verdict

Chicago have shown life offensively and Caleb Williams is starting to live up to the hype.

The problem is defense and special teams is regressing and head coach Matt Eberflus continues to make costly mistakes, so we fully expect a comfortable win for Detroit.
