Lions 20, Bears 10: Better late than never, right? The Bears FINALLY scored their first touchdown of the game with a Benny Cunningham nine-yard touchdown catch. The Bears have the football deep in their own territory, with a little more than two minutes left on the clock. Trubisky tried to drive the Bears down the filed late in the fourth quarter to score, but he threw another interception to Darius Slay to end the game.Įven though the Bears failed their onside kick attempt, their defense made the Lions punt the ball. There were multiple big moments in this game, but Detroit made the most plays on both sides of the ball. Detroit was dominant on both sides of the ball, and Matthew Stafford threw for 237 yards and two touchdowns.īears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky had an up-and-down performance - throwing for 314 yards to go along with a touchdown and three interceptions. Justin Mark is co-host of SGPN Fantasy Football’s show “Old-Fashioned Football” and a writer for the Sports Gambling Podcast.The Detroit Lions held off a late comeback attempt from the Chicago Bears to win, 20-10. Using WynnBet, I’m taking Eagles -4 and Over 48.5. The total is a bit high, but right where I’d expect it to be and I do like taking the over on opening weekend when the teams are fired up and wanting to prove themselves on offense. On paper, it is much better than the Lions and they should be able to easily control the game. The second reason is the Eagles’ offense. Sports books make a lot of money for a reason. First, the public is on the Lions, and it’s normally a good play to fade (bet against) the public. My gut and the key indicators tell me the Eagles win this one easily for a couple of different reasons. ![]() Both Hurts and Brown are being drafted inside the top 12 of their respective positions by fantasy aficionados as everybody expects big things out of them this year. Brown was acquired from the Titans and should provide an immediate boost to the Eagles’ passing game. However, the bigger intrigue involves how well Jalen Hurts and A.J. The Eagles’ offensive line will need to make sure they know where he is lining up at all times, as he’ll look to make a splash in his first regular season game. The Lions drafted edge rusher Aiden Hutchinson with the second pick in the draft to help start turning their defense around. We see Davis and Dean making an immediate impact by slowing him down. D’Andre Swift has been a top 10 running back pick in fantasy football drafts as people expect a big year out of the Lions star running back. The key defensive matchup will involve the two Georgia rookies, Jordan Davis and Nakobe Dean, against the run. The Eagles should be able to stop the Lions from moving the ball easily in the air. The Lions have a lot of receiving options but still finished 19 th last year in passing yards. Brown.Īll eyes will be on newly-acquired defensive back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, whom the Eagles traded for last week. The passing game should only get better with the addition of A.J. Despite adding some pieces on defense, the Eagles offense should have the upper hand after finishing 10 th in points, 12 th in total yards, 26 th in passing yards, but 1 st in rushing yards. Last year, they finished as one of the worst defenses statistically – 31 st in points allowed, 29 th in total yards allowed, 23 rd in passing yards allowed, and 29 th in rushing yards allowed.

The wagering public has been backing Detroit in preseason bets and futures and now more than 70% of analysts (according to Oddstrader) are picking the Lions plus the points as kickoff nears. There is an undeniable national buzz about the Eagles as they open the 2022 season favored by 4 points on the road in Detroit against the HBO “Hard Knocks”-featured Detroit Lions. ![]() By Justin Mark, SGPN Football Handicapper ![]()
