Can the Chicago Bears snap their five-game losing streak to a team they’ve beaten five times in-a-row? That’s a great question, and it all depends on the offense. The good news right off the bat is that Allen Robinson is going to play, despite injuring his knee in practice this week.
The Lions will have a new coach Sunday, after firing Matt Patricia. Will this give them a shot in the arm?
Officially active: Julio Jones, Todd Gurley, Allen Robinson, Darnell Mooney, Gardner Minshew (backup), Tua Tagovailoa (expected starter).
The Bears are getting set to take on the Detroit Lions, and PointsBet is bringing the NFC North rivalry right into your living room with the best lines.
Best Bets Bears vs. Lions (12-6)
Over/Under Montgomery and Trubisky Rushing Yards
David Montgomery is coming off of his best game of 2020, and his longest run of 2020 against the Green Bay Packers. The Lions, much like the Lions, cannot stop the run.
According to NFL.com, the Lions have given up the fifth-most rushing yards this season and give up an average of 4.4 yards per carry. Montgomery over 66.5 is valued at (-112) and could be something to look at it.
Mitch Trubisky’s rushing over/under is set at 15.5 yards, valued at (-112) too. If there is one team Trubisky loves to play, it’s the Lions. I suspect he will throw, pass and have a very nice game against a depleted Lions defense.
Over/Under Matthew Stafford Passing Yards (256.5)
Stafford and the Lions love to throw the football, but lately, injuries have forced them to run much more. Stafford himself has a thumb injury.
His passing over/under is set at 256.5 yards. Reminder, the Bears secondary is among the top of the league against the pass, and Detroit’s top wide receiver Kenny Golladay is not playing due to injury.
This line is valued at (-115). Stafford has thrown over the 256 mark six times this year.
Over/Under Allen Robinson Receiving Yards (72.5)
In their first matchup this season, Robinson totaled 74 yards. This season, Robinson leads the Bears in catches and total yards. He also tends to be more involved when Trubisky is starting. This line is also valued at (-115).
If you’re really feeling Robinson today, you can bet him to go over 75 yards (-118), over 100 yards (+180), and over 125 yards (+450). Robinson has not hit the 125 mark this season.
