Detroit Lions

Owned: ESPN 3.1%, Yahoo 4%
numberFire Projected Rank: 16th

In Week 4, the Detroit Lions travel to Chicago to take on the Bears. Detroit will either see Brian Hoyer or a beat up Jay Cutler, who was reportedly lobbying coaches to play last week.

Regardless of which quarterback they face, the Lions defense is in a nice spot. The Chicago Bears are only putting up 15 points a game, and they rank 30th in offensive efficiency, per numberFire's schedule-adjusted metrics.

The Bears have also conceded eight sacks through three games, tied for eighth-most in the league, while Cutler and Hoyer have been hit 20 times, tied for fifth-most in the league. Vegas tabs Chicago for an implied total of 21.75 in a game where the Lions are 3-point road favorites.

Thus far, the Lions defense has generated 7 sacks -- tied for 12th in the league -- and forced 1 interception.
