NFL Week 14 Predictions: Best Picks Against the Spread

Detroit Lions


Opponent: vs. Chicago Bears


Line: DET (-7.5)


The Lions have quietly won seven of their last eight games and are fresh off a really impressive 15-point drubbing of the Saints at the Superdome. Matthew Stafford is red-hot (253.25 yards per game, 7.3 yards per attempt and a 14:1 TD:INT ratio over that eight-game stretch), the defense continues to improve (stopped Drew Brees' 60-game streak of throwing a touchdown at home), and they're in contention for a first-round bye. Chicago, on the other hand, is 0-6 away from home with an average margin of defeat of 12.83 points. The Lions should have no problem winning by two touchdowns. (Getty)
