Detroit Lions vs. Chicago Bears: Prediction, odds, picks

The Detroit Lions (9-3) are the favorites — expected to win by at least a field goal, but less than a touchdown (currently -3) — against the Chicago Bears (4-8) in a matchup of two division rivals. 

The Lions scored a 33-28 victory over the New Orleans Saints in their Week 13 matchup, while the Bears also scored a win (12-10) against the Minnesota Vikings in their last contest.

Lions vs. Bears Prediction & Pick

Pick ATS: Detroit (-3) Pick OU: Over (41.5) Prediction: Detroit 28 – Chicago 20

Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Will Hill 

This is about two things — weather and a much-improved defense by the Bears. 

The last time we saw the Bears was on Monday Night Football, where they intercepted the Vikings four times while holding them to under five yards per play. 

These teams just met three weeks ago and the Bears controlled the Lions for most of the game, before losing in the final minute. 

But perhaps the biggest reason for playing the Under here is the weather. Snow and wind are in the forecast, with possible gusts up to 25 mph, which should hurt the passing games and keep scoring down. 

Considering the forecast, I think this line comes down even more. 

Under 40.5 is a solid play. 

PICK: Under 40.5 points scored by both teams combined
