Detroit Lions (-6.5) over CHICAGO BEARS
The Lions are suddenly in a must-win scenario with the No. 1 seed in the NFC on the line.
After the loss to the Bills last week, Detroit can’t afford a loss to the lowly Bears, who have lost eight straight. Good news for Dan Campbell & Co.
The Bears appear to be imploding after a dreadful “Monday Night Football” loss to the Vikings.
The Bears kept it close in their last matchup in Detroit, but that was a wonky, short-week Thanksgiving game that I’m not putting much stock in.
It won’t be as close this week.
This is the perfect bounce-back spot for the Lions.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-4) over DALLAS COWBOYS
Coming off an impressive 40-17 win over the Chargers, the Buccaneers need a win to keep control of the NFC South.
Baker Mayfield is playing some of the best football of his career, and the Cowboys may be a little overvalued after recent wins over the Giants and Panthers.
Tampa Bay is a different animal.
Betting on the NFL?
The Bucs have been a strong 4-2 against the spread as a favorite and 9-5 overall.
With the playoffs to play for, bet on a relatively stress-free win for the NFC South hopefuls.
LAST WEEK: 0-2: Steelers (L), Panthers (L)
SEASON: 4-10.
