The Chicago Bears have lost five straight games, including an embarrassing 41-25 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football, and they’re facing a must-win this week against another divisional foe.
Even despite an epic collapse, where Chicago’s defense let them down for the first time this season, the Bears might not be the biggest disappointment on the field on Sunday when they host the Detroit Lions.
Not that there’s a lot of confidence from Vegas in regards to the Bears. Chicago has opened as 3.5-point home favorites against the Lions, according to BetMGM.
Believe it or not, this is just the second time this season that the Bears have been favored. The only other game they were favored in was a home game against the New York Giants in Week 2. They’ve been underdogs in their other 10 games.
The Bears will be facing a Lions team that just cleaned house by firing head coach Matt Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn after their own 41-25 embarrassing loss. Though, to be fair, those firings had been coming for awhile.
Can Chicago break their five-game losing streak and get the their second win over Detroit this season? Or will the Lions send the Bears to a new low with their sixth straight loss? We’ll see when the Bears and Lions kick things off Sunday at noon CT on FOX.
