NFL 2010 Week 1 Picks: The Detroit Lions vs the Chicago Bears will get the 2010 NFL Regular Season underway in the NFC North Divisional clash at 1 PM ET in one of the most underrated NFL 2010 Week 1 Picks so far. The Lions vs. Bears NFL Betting Point Spread have the Bears -6.5 at BODOG.com
The line hasn´t moved that much all week but many people are looking the wrong way as they believe the Lions are not that strong of a team and associate this Detroit squad with the 2009 team. Detroit made some pretty goods offseason moves that will help the defense to improve big time, especially their pass rush defense with the addition of Ndamukong Suh and Kyle Vanden Bosh. Remember the Bears QB Jay Cutler is a disaster waiting to happen after recording 26 interceptions (most in the NFL) last year.

If Cutler doesn´t get the right amount of protection the Bears could have a really long day. Also, Bears should hand off the ball to Matt Forte and Chester Taylor all day long and use the duo as the primary weapons of the offense to avoid putting excessive pressure on Cutler and his lack of judgment. Especially now as the NFL 2010 Week 1 Picks favorite against the Lions, a early loss here will put alot of pressure on the Bears right out of the gate.
The Lions also improved in the offensive side of the ball when they drafted California running back Jahvid Best and ex Broncos tight end Tony Scheffler to help second year QB Mathew Stafford have his breakthrough year.
Obviously because of the last awful seasons the Lions don´t have the good betting trends, for example they are 1-8 ATS as an underdog of 3.5 to 9.5 points, 1-5 ATS in September games, 7-15 ATS against conference opponents but nothing is as scary as a 2-30 straight record over the past two years.
The Bears are 9-14 ATS against conference opponents, 5-7 ATS versus division opponents and 6-11 ATS in all games where the total is between 42.5 and 49 points. Chicago is 3-1 against the spread versus DETROIT over the last 3 seasons.
