Week 11: at Chicago Bears

The Lions had enjoyed some dominance over the Bears until they went into Soldier Field and lost in week four last season. Add in a closer than expected game between the Lions and Bears at Ford Field and the gap between the Lions and Bears may be thinner than many Lions fans would like to admit.

That means another tough division road game is in store.

The big wild card is what the Bears are doing at quarterback by this point in the season. Maybe Mike Glennon proves a capable bridge to the future and gives the Bears some stability.

Maybe the Bears have handed Mitchell Trubisky the reins and he took the reins and ran with the opportunity. Maybe Glennon proved to be a tremendous waste of time and money and they just throw Trubisky to the wolves.

There are a lot of ways the Bears’ season could go, but none of them put this game out of reach for the Lions. Unfortunately, this one also can’t go down as a sure win.

Prediction: Loss (4-6)
