The Bears are 31st, allowing 26.2, while Detroit is 32nd allowing 26.7. Over bettors have cleaned up backing both of these teams as both are 10-5 to the Over in totals betting.
The point is this game looks like it should be a shootout. And if it s a shoot-out, then surely Amon-Ra St Brown will feature heavily. St Brown has only ca…
Week 1 of the 2023-24 NFL season is in the books and we now have our first real look at each team. Some teams really disappointed (Vikings, Seahawks etc), others looked much better than expected (Browns, Cowboys etc), and others saw their season outlook change dramatically due to injuries (Jets ).
