With the Detroit Lions set to take on the Chicago Bears in week 15 of the 2017 NFL Season, here is all the important info you need for today’s game.

Even if the Detroit Lions run the table to finish at 10-6 there is no guarantee their season will extend beyond the regular season. The prospects of a playoff berth get even more dicey if the Lions drop one of the next three games and will certainly end if they lose two of their last three.

Fortunately, the Lions will be favored in each of their remaining games, starting this afternoon when they host the Chicago Bears. The Lions have lost just once in their last nine meetings with the Bears. That one was last October in Chicago. The Lions have beaten the Bears four times in a row at home, last losing in 2012.

Although the Lions have been dominant over the Bears in terms of wins and losses over the last nine meetings, only one was a double-digit victory. Most of the wins have been hard fought, not unlike what we saw in the first meeting between these two teams four weeks ago. Don’t be surprised to see another struggle today.
