Changes to NFC North Odds From Before Week 1 to After

<p>Let&#8217;s break down the seismic shifts in the <strong>NFC North</strong> post the opening game. The <strong>Detroit Lions</strong>, once sat with odds at <strong>+135</strong>, have clawed their way to a prominent <strong>-110</strong>, becoming the favorites of many. These <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>NFL</strong></span></a> odds seem to resonate with the bettors, making the Lions a massive liability. The traction and belief in the Lions this year is palpable, but they face a stern test against the <strong>Seattle Seahawks</strong>, who are &#8211;<strong>5.5 point favorites</strong>. Geno Smith&#8217;s potential bounce-back game could be a litmus test for Detroit.</p>

<p>While the Lions revel in newfound admiration, the <strong>Green Bay Packers</strong> have also improved from <strong>+350</strong> to <strong>+</strong><strong>280</strong>. Green Bay showed precisely why you should have faith in them.</p>
<p>On the other side of the spectrum, the <strong>Chicago Bears</strong> have seen their fortunes dip drastically from <strong>+</strong><strong>450</strong> to a bleak <strong>+950</strong>. <strong>Matt Eberflus</strong> seems to be more of an anchor dragging them down rather than a guiding light. The Bears&#8217; inability to land a high-caliber coach is startling, and the comparisons between Eberflus and <strong>Matt Nagy</strong> indicate the depth of their woes. Entering his second year and already facing calls for his departure is a glaring red flag.</p>
<p>The Bears&#8217; mismanagement is further highlighted by their bizarre roster decisions. Despite boasting one of the NFL&#8217;s hottest quarterbacks in <strong>Justin Fields</strong>, they&#8217;ve surrounded him with an inadequate supporting cast. While Fields has had his share of poor throws, like that glaring pick-six last Sunday, one must wonder: Can we really blame him entirely when he&#8217;s not provided the tools to succeed? The Bears must stop relying solely on defense and start letting Justin Fields cook. If not, their decline in the NFC North may continue unabated</p>
