The Bears most likely wouldn't have opted to begin their year with 2 American Football Conference North roadway games as well as 2 divisional games, however it happened.
The Lions host the Bears in Week 4, and also the division race will already be tightening up. Last period, with the Chicago’s playoff really hopes on the line and also the
Detroit betting just pride, the Chicago roared bent on a 20-3 lead. They then hardly warded off a Detroit resurgence, closing out a 26-24 victory. This season, the Detroit will certainly need this one greater than the Chicago do, and counterattack will absolutely be on their mind. Calvin Johnson will certainly be planning to finally crack Charles Peanut Tillman, and the Chicago’s linebackers will certainly need to take care of the mix of Mikel Leshoure and Reggie Bush .
Matthew Stafford and also Jay Cutler will be mysteriously quiet in this one, as both secondary's often play at their ideal versus each other. It's close, but it's a Lions win.
Detroit Lions vs Chicago Bears
The Detroit return residence from the two weeks on the road to return to battle with the National Football Conference North. Bears is a seasonal thorn in the Detroit paw; the Chicago have gained 13 of the last 16 conferences, including 6 of the last eight at Ford Field. Brandon Marshall and also Jay Cutler make an unsafe pitch-and-catch combo, and also running back Matt Forte is one of the most functional weapons in the organization. The Chicago protection flourished on developing turnovers a year earlier, as they took advantage of Lions with eight takeaways in both conferences, both victories for Bears.
The Chicago overhauled their coaching personnel after an additional Lovie Smith late-season failure under. Marc Trestman is an offensive master but an unidentified amount as an NFL head instructor. It's better to catch the Chicago early as they adapt to the new systems.
The Detroit are likewise well made up to make use of the Chicago weak points. Ndamukong Suh and his defensive line mates have a significant benefit over the chronically weak Chicago offensive line, while a healthy and balanced dosage of strict ends Tony Scheffler and also Brandon Pettigrew can subject the questionable Bears safeties. It likewise assists that protective end Israel Idonije is now a Lion, as an alternative of a torturing Lion’s right tackle. Disallowing an unique groups debacle, this is a home game the Lions ought to gain.
PREDICTION: Lions 27, Bears 14 (3-1)
