Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions Preview & Picks
Detroit are tipped to rebound from their opening weekend loss.
The Lions are back home for this matchup and are facing a Chicago team that continues to find new ways to shoot themselves in the foot.
- Detroit Lions are 5-1 in the last 6 meetings with Chicago
- Detroit Lions are 12-6-0 ATS in their last 18 regular season games
- Chicago Bears are 3-16 in their last 19 games against NFC North teams
- The Under has cashed in 5 of the previous 8 meetings
Head To Head
- Chicago Bears lead the all-time series 105-80-5
- Detroit Lions won 34-17 when the two teams last met in December 2024
Chicago Bears Form
Ben Johnson returns to Detroit still seeking his first regular season win as head coach of Chicago.
Johnson ended his stint with the Lions at the end of last season, when he agreed to take on the Bears job.
He inherited a team that finished 5-12 last season and went on a 10-game losing run before finally ending that skid on the final play of the campaign, winning 24-22 in Green Bay.
Chicago repeatedly threw away leads during 2024, and that trend continued in Johnson’s debut on Monday night.
The Bears blew a double digit lead and gave up 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter as they lost 27-24 to division rivals Minnesota.
Detroit Lions Form
Detroit go into their home opener looking to rebound from last weekend’s rough road defeat in Green Bay.
The Lions have been on the rise in recent years, making the NFC Championship Game in 2023 and the playoffs last year.
However, in the wake of last season’s postseason loss to Washington they lost both their offensive and defensive co-ordinators to head coaching jobs, leading to some intrigue about what we could expect in their 2025 opener.
Detroit visited Green Bay last Sunday and fielded much of the roster that has brought success in recent years.
However, the Lions failed to get much going at Lambeau Field as they fell to a 27-13 defeat at the hands of the Packers.
Verdict
Detroit had a rough opener in Green Bay, but Chicago’s season-opener was even rougher.
This team continues to choke in good positions, so the Bears should be avoided until they prove that they can close out a game.
