Detroit comes into Chicago as a -6.5 favorite with the line having dropped from -7. Better than 90% of the action is on Detroit here, which raises eye brows with the number coming down.
Not everywhere has the number dropping. At DraftKings, the line was moving back up to 7. But they've been moving between the 6.5 and 7 throughout the week. Bookmaker has held the number at 6.5.
As for Jared Goff, his passing yards total was coming in at 249.5.
In his last game, Goff completed 38-of-59 passes for 494 yards and five touchdowns in a 48-42, Week 15 loss to the Bills.
Prior to that, he completed 32-of-41 passes for 283 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in the Lions’ 34-31, Week 14 win over the Packers.
Sagarin gives us a number of Detroit -10.5.
Detroit comes into this game banged up but those injuries are not necessarily factored into the Sagarin Ratings just yet.
The Lions 11-game win streak - a franchise record - was snapped last week against the Bills.
“We got popped in the mouth and we have to get up off the ground and we have to go back to work and reposition ourselves to be able to play the next game and learn from what just happened,” coach Dan Campbell said. “And the other is to not lose confidence in the fact that we still have really good players here on defense and that we have good coaches and that we can play any way that we need to play from that standpoint, but as well as offense and special teams and still win games.
Chicago hopes to put a stop to its eight game losing streak.
Detroit is 4-1 in the last five games of this series but the Lions have only covered the current 7-point spread once over that span. In fact, Chicago is 9-1 Against The Spread over their last ten meetings against Detroit using the current number of 7.
