Best Bet

Bears –2.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Bears might have lost to the 49ers last week, but they didn’t lose any admirers with their performance. The 42-38 loss was a good offensive effort, and it was only the defence that didn’t look up to scratch.

However, they are playing much better than the Lions, who have four losses from their last five games, and three in a row. Scoring just 10 points against the Vikings last week was a poor display, especially for a team that started so well.

Therefore, we’re backing the Bears to win and cover the spread. They are 6-0 in their last six home games, and they should get back to their winning ways. We have them winning by at least a touchdown on Monday morning.

Same Game Multi

Bears –2.5, D'Andre Swift Anytime Touchdown Scorer, Caleb Wiliams Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns, Over 50.5 Points @ $7.50

Bet Now

D’Andre Swift has been in good touchdown-scoring form with four in his last three games. He scored a double against Cleveland and last week against San Francisco, so we’re including him at $2.10 to score again.

He could catch a pass from Caleb Williams, who has had a much better second year in the NFL. After putting up 38 points last week, we fancy Williams to throw over 1.5 touchdown passes, so include him in NFL multi bets.

Points could come freely, and over 50.5 is a fair line from bookmakers. Most of the money has come for the over, so back it with confidence.

Best Value Bet

Chicago Bears 14+ @ $5.00

Bet Now

There is every chance of a massive Bears victory, as the Lions have been stuttering in the second half of the season. The Lions aren’t the same team they used to be, which is evident after a poor loss to the Vikings.

The Bears can run the gauntlet on the Lions with a couple of quick touchdowns, and it could be a time to celebrate for Bears fans.

Take the $5 as a value bet.
