David Haugh (6-6): Lions 24, Bears 20
Local momentum suggests the Bears can win this game, and it's a great opportunity against the NFC North leaders who haven't been playing as well as they were earlier in the season. Justin Fields needs to stay consistent, and the Bears defense must create takeaways again. Ultimately, Lions are easier to trust and will be ready.
Matt Spiegel (9-3): Bears 24, Lions 20
The Bears will do enough to beat a reeling Lions team. Roschon Johnson is the offensive hero of the day, running for a touchdown and catching one too.
Danny Parkins (6-6): Lions 30, Bears 20
The last time these teams played, the Lions beat the Bears when they turned the ball over three times. Chicago is playing better, but my guess is the Bears don’t get three takeaways in this one, so I have the Lions by double-digits.
Chris Tannehill (8-4): Lions 27, Bears 23
I don’t think the Lions will be able to run the ball against the Bears, so they’ll have to depend on Jared Goff. We’ve seen Goff have success at Soldier Field, and I think the better quarterback carries his team to victory.
Adam Studzinski (6-6): Bears 27, Lions 22
The Lions defense actually sucks, and so does Jared Goff.
Chris Emma (8-4): Bears 24, Lions 21
After recently accomplishing a first in the Matt Eberflus era by winning a divisional win, the Bears will earn consecutive victories for the first time since 2021. There's opportunity Sunday at Soldier Field as Chicago seeks a matter of revenge.
Evan Thomas (9-3): Lions 31, Bears 24
Coming off a bye week, will Matt Eberflus have his team ready? We know how Week 1 went when the Bears apparently weren’t ready after a full offseason to prepare. Will Jared Goff struggle in the cold against the Bears like he did back in 2018 with the Rams? I think he has overcome that, but we will see come Sunday. The Bears are in position to play spoiler, but the Lions have a talented group and this could be another David Montgomery revenge game.
Kevin Lapka (6-6): Bears 26, Lions 23
The Lions have been a vulnerable football team ever since the Bears blew a 12-point lead to them in the final four minutes on Nov. 19. As reflected by the spread (Bears +3 1/2), there's no reason to believe this game is unwinnable for Chicago despite Detroit’s 9-3 record. Coming off the bye healthy and with momentum on their side following their first division win under Matt Eberflus, the Bears have a legitimate chance to win Sunday. Although it might be too little too late for Eberflus and Co., the Bears are finally learning how to win and will do so in Week 14.
