Detroit hosts Chicago in aWeek 2 clash of 0-1 NFC North teams, with Week 1 offensive hiccups looming large. Caleb Williams and J.J. McCarthy both flashed rookie jitters, while Detroit leans on Dan Campbell and Ben Johnson to spark a more efficient attack at home. NFL bettors lean toward the Lions around -6 with a lower total, reflecting concerns over how quickly either offense will click. For fantasy managers, the game offers a high-variance canvas and potential value plays as the divisional race heats up.

Public money has driven the line movement and unders, underscoring the fear of a rocky start for both offenses. The “Ben Johnson Bowl” storyline adds intrigue, but Detroit’s ability to control the pace and pressure the Bears could define a telling Week 2 narrative. In short, Lions advantage, but the arc for Williams and McCarthy will determine which fantasy assets emerge as viable bets or streams.
