Bears vs Lions Predictions and Picks
Chicago ranks 16th in passing yards, tied for 10th in running yards, 10th in points scored, and 25th in points allowed. The Bears played effectively for three quarters against the Vikings before quickly losing control. The defense remains solid, and the offense hopes to resume consistent scoring. Ben Johnson, the Bears' head coach, returns to Ford Field, where he previously helped the Lions offense discover a new identity as offensive coordinator. So far, the Bears' offense has shown signs of potential.
Detroit is ranked 15th in passing yards, tied for 31st in rushing yards, 24th in points scored, and 25th in points allowed. The Lions have won five of their previous six games versus the Bears. This is Detroit's home opener, and the offense will be primed to bounce back. In Week 1, the Lions faced a tough Packers squad on the road, and it definitely doesn't reflect on how good this offense still is. On defense, Aidan Hutchinson will seek to put pressure on Williams, while the secondary will need to tighten up.
Best Bet: Over
Neither of these teams wants to go 0-2 on the season. The Bears' offense scored in all four quarters last week, and the Lions will undoubtedly get off to a solid start in this one. So far, both defenses have been somewhat below average, and Johnson's matchup with his old squad will be interesting.
