Detroit has won 11 games in a row and its +183 scoring differential is the best in the NFL this season. Buffalo’s +129-point differential is the best among AFC teams. The Bills join the Kansas City Chiefs as the only teams to have already clinched their division titles.
Detroit topped division rivals Chicago and Green Bay by three points in its last two games. Per Bills vs Lions betting tips, Detroit has lost its last four games to Buffalo. However, none of those teams played with the swagger of the 2024 Lions so take Detroit at -145 to win its 12th game in a row.

2. Packers vs Seahawks To Land Over 47
Things don’t get much easier for the Green Bay Packers. After losing on the road to the NFC-leading Detroit Lions, the Packers are back on the road on Sunday Night Football to face a Seattle team that has won four games in a row to take over first place in the NFC West.
This is the first time since 2018 that the Packers will play at Seattle. Host Seattle won that game 27-24 with the game landing over the total of 49.5.
Per Packers vs Seahawks stats, Green Bay has scored 38, 30 and 34 points in its last three games while Seattle put up 30 points in a huge win over Arizona in Week 14.
“We’re trying to finish on the right side and win out…handle business, take it one game at a time and see what happens postseason time.”

Bet This Pick: Packers vs Seahawks Over 47
3. Bears vs Vikings Over 44
So much for firing head coach Matt Eberflus being the short-term solution for the Chicago Bears. The first four drives for the Bears in Sunday’s loss to the San Francisco 49ers netted a total of two yards.
By the time the Bears scored, they already trailed by 24 points on the way to the 38-13 loss. At least there weren’t any clock mismanagement issues late in the game for Bears fans to fret over.
The Bears end the regular season by playing at 11-2 Minnesota, at home against 12-1 Detroit and 8-5 Seattle before meeting up with the 9-4 Green Bay Packers.
Minnesota has won six games in a row to remain just a game behind first-place Detroit in the NFC North. After winning their previous two games by a combined total of four points, the Vikings scored 21 points in the fourth quarter to pull away from Atlanta.
With the last three games between Chicago and Minnesota decided by six points or less, according to Bears vs Vikings betting trends, tread carefully if you want to take the home team to cover as 6.5-point favorites.
Take this NFC North matchup to go over 44 points in NFL game predictions.
Bet This Pick: Bears vs Vikings Over 44
