1:00 PM EST
Rotation #115
Bears +5.5 over Lions
Bears/Lions Over 53.5
The Bears have been eliminated and need to get primetime TV spots for the country to see them play. Justin Fields is arriving in the league and is ready to break out for next year. The Lions’ defense is one of the worst in the NFL, and the Bears will not give in to a divisional foe. Chicago has a decent running game, and fields is a duel-threat QB with lightning-fast speed. The Bears should put up a lot of points and put themselves in a position for an upset. Jared Goff is playing well for the Lions and has a lot of good targets. The Lions also have a decent running game to keep a balanced attack. The Bears’ secondary is decimated by injury, as you will see a lot of players in the secondary that will need to catch up today. Look for a shootout in perfect dome conditions. Take the Bears and the Over.
