Tyler Fulghum explains why he's taking the Bears plus the points against the Lions on Thanksgiving.

The first matchup of the day features two teams heading in opposite directions.

The Lions (10-1, 9-2 ATS) have won nine straight and are now the favorite to win the Super Bowl (+275 at ESPN BET). The Bears (4-7, 6-5 ATS), meanwhile, have suffered five straight losses, three in heartbreaking fashion, including Sunday's wild overtime loss after they scored 11 points in the final 22 seconds against the Minnesota Vikings to end regulation.

At +550, Lions QB Jared Goff is the third choice to win MVP, behind only Josh Allen (+130) and Lamar Jackson (+300). Bears QB Caleb Williams opened the season as the Rookie of the Year favorite but has dipped to 40-1 as the fifth choice.

Detroit enters Thursday as an 11-point favorite in a game that currently has the highest points total (48.5) in Week 13.

This is the first matchup between these NFC North rivals this season. They will meet again in Week 16.

Spread: Lions -9.5 (Opened Lions -10.5)
