Chicago Bears Analysis

The Chicago Bears have had a disappointing season, currently sitting at 4-10 with a 6-6-2 ATS record. Despite losing eight straight games and falling to the Vikings 30-12, rookie quarterback Caleb Williams has shown promise with 17 touchdowns and only five interceptions. The Bears will return home after playing their last three games on the road. The offense has been inconsistent, averaging 19 points per game, while the defense has allowed 22 points per game. The Bears have a power ranking of 22 and are ranked 25th in offense and 9th in defense. In their last meeting with the Lions, they missed an opportunity to upset Detroit which led to the firing of head coach Matt Eberflus.

Detroit's Dominance Tested as Chicago Bears Aim to Cover the Spread in Upcoming Matchup

Detroit has displayed dominance throughout the season, but has exhibited signs of vulnerability in recent games by failing to cover the spread in their last three outings, including a closely contested Thanksgiving victory over Chicago. Meanwhile, the Bears have shown strength at home this season, and Caleb Williams has demonstrated his skill in ball security with an impressive streak of eight games without an interception. With potential fatigue from their previous game against the Bills and injuries impacting their defense, I anticipate Detroit may struggle in this matchup. Ultimately, I predict Chicago will be able to keep the game competitive enough to cover the spread.
