25* NFC North Game of the Year.

Detroit Lions + 10

Break up the Lions! After 644 days, 92 weeks and 19 straight losses, Detroit finally won a game, upsetting Washington at home last week as 9.5-point favorites. After playing well for spurts in the first two games (led Minnesota at the half in Wk 2), the team finally put it all together for a full four quarters and beat a solid defensive team in the Redskins (while inept offensively). New HC Jim Schwartz, who quotes Shakespeare, has his team playing disciplined football, a foreign concept during previous seasons in the Motor City. Deciding to go with overall #1 DC Matthew Stafford at QB was a wise move as he continues to "learn on the job" and get better every week. What can the Lions possibly do for an encore? How about record their first road win since mid-'07 in the exact same place they last won on the road (current 13-game losing streak)? Yes, we're serious. Detroit has certainly performed well, from an ATS perspective that is, covering six of their past seven contests away from Ford Field. Don't think that the team won't also be motivated by the chance to end another losing skid, 10 straight division losses. Chicago, 2-1 on the season, is fairly overrated from where we sit. They have been outstatted in 25 of their last 35 games. Lost in the whole "Jay Cutler is the best QB the Bears have had in years" is the fact that RB Matt Forte has seen his production drop down to 50 YPG following a fine rookie campaign. The defense, which was mediocre at best to begin with, got a lot more mediocre with the loss of LB Urlacher. The Bears could be caught looking a~head to the bye week in Week 5. Over the last three seasons, they are 0-4 ATS when coming off BB wins and they are 1-7 ATS as double-digit favorites.
