The Chicago Bears (5-6) will travel to Detroit to face the Lions (3-7-1) for the second straight Thanksgiving. They’ll be looking to keep their slim playoff hopes alive with a victory over a struggling Lions team.
The experts are feeling confident about the Bears’ chances against a struggling Lions team as 77 percent of experts polled believe the Bears will beat the Lions on Thanksgiving, according to NFL Pick Watch.
The Bears offense is looking to establish a rhythm earlier than the third quarter against a defense that struggled against the Washington Redskins last week.
The Lions will start third-string quarterback David Blough, an undrafted rookie out of Purdue, in place of backup Jeff Driskel, who is dealing with a hamstring injury.
Can the Bears’ offense find a way to finally get off to a quick start? Will the Bears’ defense fare well against Blough? Can the Bears keep their slim playoff hopes alive with a win?
We’ll see today when the Bears and Lions kick things off at 11:30 a.m. CT on FOX.
