Detroit Lions vs. Chicago Bears – Total Points Moving

For the Move

• Weather is predicted to be a factor with snow and wind during the game
• Lions starting Center Frank Ragnow was injured last game and his status for Sunday is unclear
• The Bears and Lions rank 3^rd and 4^th respectively in rushing yards per game

Against the Move

• The Lions and Bears average just over 47 points per game combined
• The two teams scored 57 points in their last meeting less than 3 weeks ago
• Detroit and Chicago are both in the top 10 in the NFL for points given up off turnovers

Richie’s Take:

This game is sizing up to be an old school, late season grinding game in bad weather. Look for both teams to lean on their top-ranked running games to control the game and clock. However, the Lions and Bears both give up a lot of points off turnovers which could impact the Total — just like it did when they last met on November 19^th as there were 19 points scored after turnovers.
