both teams are       inconsistant.  Yes, that includes Detroit too.   Detroit may be hot and may be the MOST IMPROVED team of 2011....but if u are betting heavy on Detroit....u mite wanna ask yourself...

"Why does Detroit keep falling behind?...."         having said that

 

Detroit will probably have Cutler running for his life, but Chicago will probably put up a fight in a div rivarly.

Chicago for the UPSET SPECIAL.          chicago + 6.         this game seems pretty fishy.  I would't bet any thing large on this game

Ask yourself how do they keep making huge comebacks.  Its called talent.  Ask yourself how have they won 8 straight regular season games in a row and cover in 7 of 8 ATS.  Its called talent and you will see next Monday Nite just how talented this team really is.  They will cover the six whether its the first half or the second half they will cover.

Make that 7-0-1 ATS in the last 8.  I forgot the Minny game was a push.

I am not too big on the opening line here.
I like a ML play on the Lions.  I am thinking maybe a 4 point win. 
I have been on board with the Lions for a while and this is a very talented team against a team that is just sad BUT the Lions are also a young team and this is a huge stage for them.  There will certainly be some mistakes made.

It will be really great to see if the Lions and Tigers play on the same night in Detroit next week!  What a thrill that will be in the Motor City.  Anyone there is lucky right now to be in the greatest town in America. Detroit is the heart and soul of America.

Really considering teasing this to +12 for Chicago and also pumping the total up to 54 or 53.5 (don't know what number my local will have) and going under.

Obviously you can tell I'm scared of Detroit's talent. Don't think they will win by 2 tds though.

Thoughts??

Detroit is waaaay overrated, they haven't play any kind of contender yet, KC sucks, Tampa sucks, Dallas sucks, Minni sucks.  They've had to make big come backs in the last 2 games they've played.    Detroit's running game blows, there D is decent, Calvin Johnson is the only real WR they got that's proven.  Chris Harris is back which will help out our secondary...   My Bears cover EASY and win this game.

Detroit - 28                                    Chicago - 25

Bears +5.5                                 over 47.5

Don't know why, just a gut feeling. Divisional game, highly important for both teams. Chitown has been there done that. This is all new to the Lions. Might as well take the 5.5 and hope the Bears offense can come up big.

Chicago - Over.

CJ this game has been sold out in Detroit since the tickets came out.  That dome will be rockin and the Lions are not going to fall behind in this game like they have in the past two.  Got my fingers crossed that Fairley finally puts the pads on but whether he does or not your are going to see one talented team take to the Ford Field  and it ain't going to be the Chicago Bears.  The Lions have waited a long time to play on prime time and they are not going to lay a egg in this one.   N Suh will have this team pumped and they won't be taking even one down off.  Good Luck with your +5.5 but  i don't think you will have to be  because i really think this one will never be in doubt.JMHO

   My hats off to the Detroit Lions & "LOOKING TO WIN" . They have really turned it around. This game almost falls into the Prime Play category, but not quite! At the risk of alienating BOTH the Lion and Packer Backers- when the smoke clears, there won't be anymore undefeated teams this year!

CHICAGO  + 6

Thank you!! it seems like we are the only 2 people that see this!!! Has the world gone mad??, the lions have not played anyone yet this season.....they have proved nothing..everybody is acting like there 2007 patriots. "perfect season" NO , Superbowl contender---Hell No

Bottom Line--- The lions are improving, but they are no where near a superbowl contending team....there schedule so far has been pathetic outta the 4 teams played, the cowboys where the best, and the cowboys suck right now.

Chicago Bears will win

I agree.  The world has gone mad.  GREAT points by both of you.  Who has detroit played?    yes, Detroit is 4-0 but the teams they have played ALL SUCK except for Tampa Bay who is iffy at best.  I'm a Dallas fan and I can assure you that Dallas HANDED detroit the game on a silver patter.    Having Said that...

Detroit is the real deal. Real in terms of playoffs.  Other than that...It is alarming that Detroit has a lack of a consistent running game and is known as a comeback team.  I'm wondering if Vegas is trying to lure people into a detroit SUCKER BET

Looking for the Bears to keep this Monday Night Football game close. Lions win by a field goal or less.

DET -5.5 (1u) - the only hope for the Bears to prevent a blow-out of epic proportions is to get points via Deveon Hester punt returns.  Cutler's 4 picks in 4 games with a completion percentage of 54% does not bode well vs. the surging Lions.  For a team that allowed the lowly Panthers to accumulate 543 yards last week, i doubt their D will be up to the task of stopping the 2011 Lions.  Lions 27-Bears 6.
