Packers @ Bears: Slow Burner Expected

The destination of the NFC North title should become a bit clearer on Sunday as the Green Bay Packers travel to Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears.

The Packers won the reverse fixture by seven points two weeks ago, and this promises to be another close game. 

In all 15 games the Packers have played, the average points scored in the opening quarter is 4.3 points.

Buccaneers @ Panthers: Prolific Tampa Bay 

After starting the season with a 6-2 record, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have lost five of their last six. 

The Buccaneers have seen their lead at the top of the NFC South whittled away and they are now level with the Carolina Panthers with a 7-7 record. 

Tampa Bay have scored in each of their last 11 quarters, while the Panthers have given up points in 10 of their last 12 quarters.

Chargers @ Cowboys: Dallas To Entertain Again

Spare a thought for the 10-4 Los Angeles Chargers, who are two games behind the AFC West leaders Denver Broncos, while the Bucs and Panthers share the lead in the NFC South with 7-7 records. 

The Cowboys, currently seeded tenth in the NFC, are hoping for help from a lot of teams to keep alive their slim Super Bowl chances.

Dallas' games average 59.1 points per game, and they face the Chargers having scored in each of the last 15 quarters. 

The Panel's Selection 3: Chargers @ Cowboys: Cowboys To Score All 4 Quarters - 7/5 With BetMGM

Steelers @ Lions: Shoot-Out In Detroit

The Detroit Lions are not far behind the Cowboys in the entertainment stakes, with their 14 games averaging 55.2 points.

Seven of their games, including last week's 41-34 loss at the Rams, have seen 60 points or more scored.

Three of Pittsburgh's games have hit that mark too, and they could be involved in a shoot-out in the Motor City. 

The Panel's Selection 4: Steelers @ Lions: Over 51.5 Total Points - 9/10 With BetMGM 

The above four selections works out to be an 22/1 acca with BetMGM.
