Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions Best Bet

Whenever there's an island game, there is a propensity to overreact and that's exactly what we got last Monday Night.

After struggling down the stretch with some inaccuracy and sporadic play, Caleb Williams was the punching bag of plenty of sports discourse early this week.

However, for his first game in a new system under Ben Johnson, against one of the game's best defensive coordinators, I think there's a lot of good that Williams can build on.

Despite facing constant pressure all night from one of the more multiple defenses in football, Williams was only sacked twice, and did not commit any turnovers.

This week, he faces a Lions' defense that is talented, but is still breaking in with a new defensive coordinator, Kelvin Sheppard.

The Lions played man coverage on nearly 40% of their dropbacks a season ago, and it looked like more of the same this past week as they were in man coverage on 52% of the Packers' dropbacks. Williams should be able to take advantage of these simpler looks and build off some positives from a week ago.

Six points is too many here. I expect Chicago to keep this one close with the potential to win.
