Thursday, 9:30 a.m. TV: Channel 2 (CBS)
Line: Lions by 10½. O/U: 48½.
Chicago has been playing better lately, and Keenan Allen is getting more involved. The Bears should hang in for a while, but Detroit is better all around and figures to pull away in the second half.
Pick: Lions 31, Bears 20
GIANTS (2-9) AT COWBOYS (4-7)

Line: Cowboys by 3½. O/U: 37½.
The Dallas defense is getting a little healthier and quarterback Cooper Rush has done a respectable job. The Giants look like they’re tanking. Better chance with Drew Lock than injured Tommy DeVito.
Pick: Cowboys 20, Giants 16

Line: Packers by 3½. O/U: 47½.
Miami has won three in a row since the return of Tua Tagovailoa, so the Dolphins will make this interesting. But a prime time game at Lambeau Field with that familiar cold weather on tap? Go with Green Bay.
Pick: Packers 28, Dolphins 24
