The Detroit Lions go to the Windy City to take on NFC North rivals the Chicago Bears. Detroit snapped a five-game losing streak with a win over the Green Bay Packers, while Chicago lost their second straight and fifth of the last six in a loss to Miami. The Detroit Lions need to shore up their defense as they are allowing 417.3 yards per game while giving up 29.3 points a game. Detroit's offense is putting up 23.5 points a game. The Chicago Bears give up 24.0 points but since they have traded away their best two defenders they have given up a combined 84 points in two games. Chicago's offense is averaging 195.4 yards rushing a game. with quarterback Justin Fields. Chicago is last in passing, with an average of 125.7 yards per game. Chicago scores an average of 20.8 points a game.

Both teams leave nothing to be desired on the defensive side of the ball. The Bears are allowing an average of 24.0 points per game and Detroit allows 29.3 points a game. The total has finished over in 7 of Detroit's last 10 games overall and in four of Chicago's last 5 overall. I can't see either defense stepping up and doing much in this one.
