Game Preview

The Detroit Lions were defeated by the Vikings last weekend, 23-10, in a game that saw Jared Goff having 5 turnovers and the entire team 6. It was one of the worst performances of the whole year for this team.

With this loss, despite Green Bay’s defeat to the Ravens, the Lions lost all chance of reaching the playoffs, and this can be labeled a very disappointing campaign.

As for the Bears, they want that second seed in the NFC because it could secure them home-field advantage in the Divisional round if they win before then.

Though we saw them failing to beat the 49ers on the road, 42-38, in one of the best games this year. Their run defense was terrible, allowing 200 yards on the ground, negating Caleb Williams’ 330 passing yards.

Lions vs. Bears Head to Head

In 191 games, the Bears won 105, the Lions 81, and 5 ended in ties. Though, Detroit won 5 of the last 6, one of them this September 52-21.

Lions vs. Bears Predictions

Bears want to win because of the No. 2 seed and because the Lions humiliated them earlier this year. And they have the perfect opportunity to collect their debt. So we pick them to win here.
