NFL Week 17 Odds, Picks & Predictions: Bears vs. Lions

After losing to the Panthers last week, the Lions still have an outside chance of making the playoffs. They need to run the ball better than they did last week to win this game. The Bears allow 151.2 rushing yards per game this season, with that number being 180.3 yards per game in their previous three games. They had just 45 rushing yards as a team last week and allowed 320 rushing yards to the Panthers.

The Bears and Justin Fields are more than capable of running loose against this defense, as they average 179.7 rushing yards per game, which is the most in the league. These teams allow the most points per game this season, with the Lions allowing 26.7 and the Bears allowing 26.2. This game has high-scoring potential with numerous big plays, given the poor state of these defenses.

Bears +6, Lean o52.5
