Chicago Bears vs Detroit Lions 2010 NFL Picks, 2010 NFL Predictions & 2010 NFL Odds: The Chicago Bears will chase their fifth straight win this afternoon as they take on NFC North rival Detroit at Ford Field in the Motor City. Today's game between the two long time adversaries is scheduled to get underway at 1:00pm ET on FOX. 2010 NFL Picks, Predictions & Odds at Sportsbook.com have the Bears listed as a -3.5 against the spread road favorite; the game total is set at 44.5.
Chicago improved its record to 8-3 last Sunday with a 31-26 upset of the Eagles at Soldier Field. The victory gave the Bears
a one game lead over the Packers in the NFC North race, but with Green Bay hosting the Forty Niners this weekend, they have little margin for error.
Chicago's 4-1 start looked fluky at best, but it has showed some real moxie over the past four weeks, playing solid defense while avoiding the offensive breakdowns that characterized its early season play (even in victory).
The Bears, with the exception of a 17-3 week four loss at New York, have been real road warriors this season, beating the Cowboys, Panthers, Bills, and Dolphins by an average of 10.8 points per game.
Detroit comes into today's contest with a miserable 2-9 tally, but it has done a decent job of remaining competitive in most of its games. The last two weeks have been rough for the Lions, though, with bad losses to both the Cowboys and Patriots.
Detroit scored a respectable 43 points in those two outings, but its defense, which had allowed a combined 62 points in its three previous games, gave up 80 total points to Dallas and New England.
Despite its 45-24 Thanksgiving Day loss to the Pats, the Lions have played their best football at Ford Field this season. Both of their wins have come at home (Rams 44-6, Redskins 37-25) and they lost to the Eagles and Jets by a combined six points as a host.
NFL Picks Betting Trend: The Bears are 1-5 straight up and against the spread in their last six games as a road favorite with a spread between 0 and 3.5 and total between 44.5 and 47.
