Opinion
DETROIT –5 Chicago 47.5
Chicago qualifies in a fundamental rushing situation, which is 294-202-23. Numbers favor Detroit by 10 points and predict about 46 points. I originally liked Chicago in this game but the numbers suggest there is now value on Detroit in this game. Detroit has lost three in a row at home to Chicago and five of the last six games. They have allowed the Bears to score at least 24 points in five straight games played here. Situation goes one way and the value goes the other way. Probably a good game to pass. DETROIT 26 CHICAGO 20

Carolina at New Jersey
Pick: Over 5
We have a matinee today in New Jersey as Carolina treks up the coast to face-off with the Devils. The Devils may not be the highest scoring team in the league, but they have had a lot of success vs. Hurricanes' net-minder Cam Ward. The Devils have beaten him in 11 of 17 matchups, and I look for the Devils to do some scoring here as the total here is a lot lower than that expectation. I know it is early, but these teams matchup perfectly for a high-scoring game, as Carolina is 36-6-12 to the OVER vs. a home team that is less than .400 at home. New Jersey is 12-4-4 vs. a team that is less than .400 on the road. This one goes OVER the total.
The Prez
Bears at Lions
Pick: Over
Much like the Jets vs Patriots on Sunday, a situation arises in Week 5 that has been a cash cow for us over the years, and it takes place on Monday night on the fast turf of Ford Field. Playing to the OVER on a team (Detroit) that averages less than 3.5 yards per carry following a game where they gained 75 or less rushing has cashed at a terrific 74-31 clip (71%) over the last 5 seasons.
