At 12:30pm ET, my NFC North Total Of The Year is on Detroit/Chicago Over. The Lions can score points against any defense. They've scored 24 or more points in 8 straight games. They scored more than 30 in 6 of those, more than 40 in 4 of them and more than 50 in two. They are potent enough that they have the potential to go over this number by themselves. That's unlikely but the Bears will chip in plenty to help their cause. Chicago just scored 27 against a good Minnesota defense last week. The Bears had 398 yards of offense, 320 through the air. Rookie QB Caleb Williams has improved dramatically since the Bears fired Shane Waldron and promoted Brown to offensive coordinator in. In two games since the switch, Williams' completion percentage has increased from 61% to 71%, his other stats improving along with the improved completion percentage. Williams' yards per attempt has climbed from 6.1 to 7.3, his pressure percentage has been nearly cut in half (34% to 18%) and he's getting rid of the ball quicker as his average pass time has dropped from 2.9 seconds to 2.42 seconds. These teams faced each other last Thanksgiving Day and the Lions won 31-26. The Bears were up 26-14 in the fourth quarter before Detroit scored the game's final 17 points. Neither team is going to quit in this one either and the final score will again finish above the 50 mark. Play on the over.
