Bears vs. Lions Player Prop
In this week 14 matchup, D’Onta Foreman will be facing the Lions with a rushing yards prop of 27.5. Betting on the over yields a payout of -125, while the under pays at -107. The implied odds for the over are 56%.
In seven games, D’Onta Foreman has rushed 92 times for a total of 381 yards. Currently, he stands at 38th among running backs in rushing yards. Foreman is up against the league’s 4th ranked rush defense, so I’m going to be getting my bet down on the under for D’Onta Foreman’s prop of 27.5 rushing yards.
- The Prop: D’Onta Foreman Under 27.5 Rushing Yards (-107)
Bears VS. Lions Predictions
From the time the lines were first set, Detroit has moved from -4.5 point favorites to their present line of -3.5.
Even though the Bears are the 3.5-point underdogs at home, I like them to cover the spread against the Lions. In their last game, the Lions defense struggled to get off the field, giving up 23 first downs. Look for the Bears offense to take advantage of facing an inconsistent defense.
