Detroit Lions Are Home Underdogs For Thanksgiving Showdown With Chicago Bears

Can you please rewrite the following sentence that I am about to provide?

Once again, the Detroit Lions, who have yet to secure a victory this season, will take center stage nationally on Thursday as they host the Chicago Bears in their traditional Thanksgiving game.

Just like the previous 10 games this season, the Lions find themselves as underdogs once again. With a 0-9-1 record, Detroit suffered yet another defeat, this time a narrow 13-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

However, the spread is decreasing. Following the Bears’ unfortunate injury updates and potential positive news for the Lions, Detroit is now only considered a three-point underdog.

On Monday, online sports betting apps in Michigan predicted that Detroit would be 3.5-point underdogs for the upcoming NFL game, marking the start of Week 12. However, as of Wednesday afternoon, the spread had decreased to 3 points. This 3-point kickoff line would be the lowest that the Lions have faced this season.

During the summer, the sportsbooks established a 3.5 point advantage for Chicago in this game. On Wednesday, they also set the over/under at 41.5 points. The following are the updated spreads, moneylines, and over/unders.

As per tradition, the holiday season begins a bit earlier than usual. The game at Ford Field, scheduled for 12:30 p.m. EST, will be televised on Fox. Additionally, on Thursday, the Dallas Cowboys will be hosting the Las Vegas Raiders at 4:30 p.m. on CBS, while New Orleans will be the venue for the night game against Buffalo at 8:20 p.m. on NBC.

Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions: Thanksgiving NFL Odds

Fields out for Bears, Goff questionable for Lions

Throughout the week, the teams were given contrasting updates regarding their quarterbacks.

Andy Dalton was reported to be starting at quarterback on Tuesday, taking over for injured rookie Justin Fields.

Nevertheless, Detroit could witness the comeback of Jared Goff as their starting quarterback, as he was absent in last week’s defeat against Cleveland due to an oblique injury.

On the official injury report released on Wednesday, the Lions labeled Goff as questionable.

Lions fall 13-10 to Browns in Week 11

This season, the kings reigning over the jungle are also the rulers of the cover.

Although they have a disappointing 0-9-1 record, the Lions have managed to exceed expectations with a surprising 6-4 performance against the spread this season. This suggests that coach Dan Campbell has been able to extract commendable effort from a roster that may be lacking in effectiveness.

The Lions and their new starting quarterback Tim Boyle faced significant challenges on Sunday as they struggled to gain momentum against Cleveland, who effortlessly secured the victory.

Despite Baker Mayfield being injured, Nick Chubb managed to step up and make significant contributions to the game even with limited support from the passing game.

Despite missing the previous game due to Covid-19, the star running back executed remarkable runs, accumulating 133 yards, to effectively manage the clock against the Lions.

In his debut as a starting quarterback, Boyle completed 15 out of 23 passes for a total of 77 yards, unfortunately, he also threw two interceptions.

Bears come in on five-game losing streak with Nagy on hot seat

The Bears experienced a defeat in four consecutive games leading up to their Week 10 bye, and unfortunately, the trend continued in Week 11.

The Baltimore Ravens emerged victorious with a 16-13 score against Chicago on Sunday, despite the absence of their star quarterback Lamar Jackson due to illness.

Baltimore’s victory over the Bears was largely thanks to Tyler Huntley, although the bar for success was not set very high these days.

Furthermore, Fields sustained an injury in the second half which raises questions about his recovery in the upcoming week.

There is a possibility that Bears coach Matt Nagy’s job may be at risk, including his status for Thursday.
