NFC North rivals go to battle when the Bears visit the Lions. Chicago is just 3-7 this season but will have Justin Fileds under center. Detroit is 7-2 and is not only primed for a playoff spot but is looking for the number one seed in the NFC. On the season, Chicago has given up 324.2 yards and 25.5 points per game. They give up the second-fewest yards on the ground at 76 per game but struggle to rush the passer. The Bears’ offense has struggled this season and has put up 322.8 yards and 20.4 points per game. Over their last three games, they’ve averaged just 15.3 points per game. They should improve with Fields under center. The Lions’ offense is second in the NFL, with 406.4 total yards per game and they are sixth with 26.8 points per game. Detroit’s defense is giving up 310.7 yards per game and 22.6 points per game. The Lions put up 41 points last weekend and have scored over 30 points four times this season. The Bears’ offense is bad Fields adds another dimension with his legs. The Bears have scored 17 or less in six games this year. Last season, these two averaged 56 combined points in two games, with 51 total in their last meeting. With the Fields under center, I feel the Bears can score more than 17 and push this over the number.
