The under 46.5 bet in the 'totals' market for this game is a strong choice considering the performance data of both teams. The away team's lackluster offensive performance is a primary factor, averaging only 16 points per game over the last 5 games. This contrasts with their higher average points allowed (23.8). The away team's negative Expected Points Added (EPA) differential (-9.76) and their turnover differential (-0.4) also underscore their offensive struggles. On the other hand, the home team's defense exhibits a similar trend, allowing 26.4 points per game, paired with a positive EPA differential of only 4.6. Their turnover differential shows they aren't generating takeaways effectively (home_overall_l5_turnover_diff: -0.8). Considering the home team's weak defense and the away team's struggling offense, the overall score is less likely to exceed 46.5 points, making the Under a

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
Betting on Under 47.5 in the 'totals' market for this game is supported by several key statistics. Firstly, the away team's recent performance paints a picture of struggle, particularly on offense. Their overall last 5 games (L5) score for is significantly lower than their score against (16 vs 23.8). This worsens when looking at their performance in away games, with a score for of 15.6 against a score against of 28.4. Similarly, their overall and away Expected Points Added (EPA) for are both negative, indicating they are failing to make high value plays. On the other hand, the home team's L5 score for is quite better (29.8 overall and 32.2 at home) but their score against is also high (26.4 overall and 30.6 at home). This suggests they are allowing opponents to score significantly as well, but their performance is still more solid than the away

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
Betting on Amon-Ra St. Brown to score a touchdown at any time in the game between the Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears might not be the most favorable bet. His recent performances and trends show a generally inconsistent scoring pattern. His overall hit rate in the last 20 games is just over half (11/20), and his home hit rate is slightly worse (7/19). His hit rate against the Bears is 50% (2/4), but drops to 1/2 when playing at home against them. His current hit streaks are generally low, with his overall and home current hit streak at 0. However, he does have a current hit streak of 1 against the Bears, which might suggest a possibility of scoring in the upcoming game. Considering all these factors, it might be a risky bet to place.
