The Chicago Bears will try to halt a two-game SU losing streak when they host the Detroit Lions in a Week 11 clash of NFC North rivals at Soldier Field. The Bears offence has sputtered during the team’s slide, capped by last week’s 23-16 loss to Green Bay as 4.5-point home chalk. The Lions ride a two-game SU win streak after dominating Cleveland in last week’s 38-24 win as 10.5-point home chalk.
The Bears have tallied just 15 points per game over their past three outings, and have scored more than 17 points just once in their past five. That includes a 1-2 SU run in which they have averaged just 16.66 ppg. Despite their meager offensive production, the Bears are a reliable 6-3 ATS this season, including four straight ATS wins as home underdogs.
The Lions matched their highest point total of the season in last week’s win over Cleveland, and have averaged 30.25 ppg over their past four. Detroit has also held opponents to 17 or fewer points on three occasions during a 3-1 SU and ATS road run, and is 5-2 SU and ATS in its past seven road dates with NFC North rivals.
Detroit is 7-1 SU in its past eight meetings with the Bears, but dropped a 17-14 decision as 3-point chalk in its last visit to Soldier Field in October 2016. The Lions have covered just once in five meetings with Chicago, while the Bears ride a 4-1 ATS run at home against divisional opponents.
