Bill Zimmerman of Bear Goggles On‘s prediction: Bears sweep
"I think the Lions have plenty of issues facing their team, especially with the loss ofCalvin Johnson. I would be very surprised if the Bears lost their home game to the Lions and would chalk that up as a win. The road game in Detroit is a toss-up. Barring injuries, the Bears should continually improve throughout the season as their new players and rookies develop and gel. If the Bears played the Lions in Detroit early, I might say Detroit wins, but being that the game is week 14, I think that Chicago will go into Detroit and sweep the season series from the Lions."
Lions’ record: 0.5-5.5
Next: Week 5 vs. Eagles
