This week, the Detroit Lions (12-2) will travel to Illinois to take on division rival Chicago Bears (4-9). The Bears still have a game to play to complete Week 15, but the folks at FanDuel Sportsbook have already set the opening betting line for Week 16 at Lions -7 points.
These two teams just met in Week 13, when the Lions came away with a 23-20 victory on Thanksgiving Day in Matt Eberflus’ last game as the Bears head coach. Since then, the Lions beat the Packers for the second time this year, moving to 4-0 in the division, then lost to the Bills in a game where they never found their footing.
