@ Detroit Lions

There is no doubt the Lions are the hottest team in the NFC North right now. They have the best quarterback in terms of production and keep finding ways to win tight games. Weird things always seem to happen when the Bears travel up there. That being said, this is not a team Chicago will fear. They already beat Detroit once this season at Soldier Field. They will go in knowing they should’ve beaten them at Ford Field last year if not for a series of terrible calls by the referees. It will be a wild game for sure.

Result:  Loss

vs. Green Bay Packers

Something crazy is going on with the Packers of late. They don’t look like themselves. Not like a team that has made the playoffs every year since 2009. Aaron Rodgers admitted the effort and energy haven’t been there and it threatens to cost them unless they fix it. The Bears haven’t beaten their rivals at Soldier Field since 2010. One can bet John Fox will remind them of that, and of the fact they played well enough to win in their last meeting. Will a healthier offense make the difference this time?

Result:  Win
