Chicago Bears vs Detroit Lions NFL Player Props & Picks (1/1/22)
Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions Player Prop Picks
The Chicago Bears visit the Detroit Lions in Week 17 of the 2022-23 NFL Season. Bothe teams are coming off losses that were not that close at all. This should be an interesting matchup for both of these teams to rebound and for the Lions to stay alive in the playoffs. Let’s take a look at some prop bets that make the most sense for this game on Sunday.
Jared Goff Over 277.5 Passing Yards
A huge reason for the Lions’ success this year has been the play of Jared Goff. He has 3,959 passing yards, 26 passing touchdowns, seven interceptions, and he has a 65% completion percentage on the year. He’s hit over this number in 5 of the 15 games that the Lions have played in. The Lions have been a very balanced team on offense this year, but Goff gets an okay matchup this week against the Bears. Chicago allows 216 passing yards a game which might be a tougher than expected matchup for Goff. Take this bet because the Lions offense is very dynamic, so he should be able to get these yards against a defense that’s struggled all year for the most part. He could continue to prove he’s the future in Detroit with a win here.
Justin Fields Over 72.5 Rushing Yards
Justin Fields has been one of the most dynamic players in the NFL this year. He’s been okay as a passer, but what’s made him so good this year has been his running ability. He has 150 carries, 1,011 rushing yards, and eight rushing touchdowns on the year. He’s hit over this total in 6 of the 14 games that he’s played in this year. He’s been the best thing about the Bears offense this year. The Lions allow 146 rushing yards a game, which is a very good matchup for Fields to take advantage of. Take this bet because Fields is the main component to the Chicago offense and he gets a favorable matchup against the Detroit defense. The Bears are building for next year, but this year has been all about Fields’ emergence.
Amon-Ra St. Brown Over 82.5 Receiving Yards
Amon-Ra St. Brown has been great this year for the Lions. He has 96 receptions, 1,050 receiving yards, and 6 receiving touchdowns on the year. He’s also hit over this number in 4 of the 14 games that he’s played in. He’s been the best and most reliable receiver the Lions have had all year. The Bears allow 216 passing yards a game for the year which should be a tougher than expected matchup for Brown. He should still see a lot of targets in this game volume-wise. Take this bet because of the volume of targets Goff will look to get to Brown because he’s been the Lions’ safety valve all year. This has been a breakout year for Brown and this is another game where he can continue to show off his dominance.
