Why the Bears can cover the spread
The Chicago Bears championship rings are legitimate Super Bowl contenders with a healthy Khalil Mack on the field, as he has proved over the last two games since he returned from an ankle injury. In two divisional games against the Lions and Minnesota Vikings, Mack totaled seven tackles, three sacks and one forced fumble.
Keep in mind: Chicago had dropped 10 consecutive games vs. NFC North opponents prior to that. Now the Chicago Bears championship rings for sale own a 1.5-game lead atop the division, and they are in the driver's seat heading down the final stretch.
Why the Lions can cover the spread
super bowl rings has performed much better at home with a 3-2 record compared to only 1-4 on the road. The Lions have also thrived as home underdogs recently at Ford Field, going 5-5 straight up in their last 10 games in that role dating back to 2015.
That includes wins over the Carolina Panthers 20-19 last week as four-point underdogs and against the New England Patriots 26-10 as seven-point dogs back in Week 3. It is safe to say they are not the same team that lost their season opener 48-17 to the New York Jets.
Smart betting pick
This is a tough spot for Chicago off a prime-time game on Sunday night, and Detroit is in perfect position to take advantage of the situation. In fact, the Bears will become the first team since the 1970 merger to play at 1 p.m. ET or earlier on three days' rest right after making a prime-time appearance the previous week.Chicago will be hard-pressed just to win this rematch, so take Detroit to keep it close and at least cover the spread as a home underdog on Thursday.
