“If you’ve been following my picks throughout the season, you know that we are not scared away from laying big numbers when it comes to the Lions. They don’t like to just win, but they want to blow teams out of the water. That’s particularly true at home, where they are 3-0 ATS in their last three games at Ford Field and have covered the spread by an average of 22.3 points per game. Meanwhile, the Bears struggle mightily on the road, owning a 1-5 ATS record over their last six games away from Soldier Field. Let’s not overthink this one too much.” — CBS Sports NFL writer Tyler Sullivan on why he is laying the 10.5-point spread with the Lions
“The Bears have lost four straight while the Lions have rolled to the top seed in the NFC right now. Playing the Lions on the road is never easy, but it’s even tougher on Thanksgiving. Caleb Williams showed well last week and will here as well to keep the Bears close. Lions win it, but it’s tight.” — CBS Sports Senior NFL Analyst Pete Prisco on why he likes the Lions to beat the Bears, 30-27. Check out all of his Week 13 picks.
