Combine the Lions (-510) and the Green Wave (-550) into a 2-team parlay at -242 odds.

Chicago's one-dimensional offense isn't very good, last in the league in passing, and 21st in points scored (20.2 ppg). QB Justin Fields (16 TDs, 10 INTs) has been sacked 48 times and is dealing with injuries to his foot and left shoulder. The Bears are 47-29 UNDER the total after being outrushed by 75+ yards in the last game, plus 39-23 UNDER on the road against teams that average 24+ points. Detroit's defense has actually been playing well at home giving up an average of 17.7 points in its last four home contests. The Lions are 19-8 UNDER the total at home versus teams averaging 175 or fewer passing yards per game. And NFL home teams like Detroit off of an upset loss by 14 points or more as a favorite are 21-2 UNDER the total when facing a divisional opponent. Take Chicago/Detroit UNDER the total.

Detroit finally finished the job and upset Green Bay after fading down the stretch in many of their games the last two seasons. The Lions picked off Aaron Rodgers three times and he threw an incomplete pass on fourth down fron the Detroit 17 in the final minute to seal the deal for Detroit. The game went UNDER by 25 points as the Lions put on their best defensive show of the season in holding the Packers to one touchdown. Chicago has dropped five of its past six games while finding ways to lose and the latest was a 35-32 defeat by Miami despite the fact that quarterback Justin Fields ran for 178 yards, the most by an NFL QB in a regular-season game. The Bears had 40 carries for 252 yards rushing, but still came up short. Both meetings last year went UNDER and the Lions are 8-3 UNDER their past 11 road games while the Bears are 22-9 UNDER their past 31 home contests. Also, Chicago is 20-6 UNDER after an ATS win. Detroit is 9-3 ATS versus NFC teams, including 6-0 ATS against the NFC North dating to last season. Take the Lions and the UNDER.
