00:00Let's take a look at Thursday. We kick it off with the Bears at the Lions. Lions 9-2

00:08against the number this year, but 10-1 overall. They've been incredible, dominating the Colts

00:13the other day. The Bears playing a little bit better. They don't get the victory the

00:18other day, but Caleb looking more sound. Do you think the Bears have a real chance to

00:23challenge the Lions on the fast track for the Lions at home?

00:28I do. I think we saw this last year. The Bears were a tough matchup for the Lions in

00:32both of the games they played. They were able to get pressure on Jared Goff. Montez Sweat

00:37had some big games, so I think I know that this Lions offense is explosive and I wouldn't

00:41rule out them scoring any amount of points really, but with the way the Bears have played

00:46lately with their switch at offensive coordinator and Keenan Allen and DJ Moore showing better

00:52chemistry with Caleb Williams these last two weeks, I think that this number is probably

00:56a little bit high. I think that the Bears can keep this one close, and if not, if it's

01:02not close down the stretch, they might have a chance to get a backdoor cover, and we know

01:06Caleb Williams is capable of doing that. I know he's had some rough patches during his

01:10rookie year, but the talent is there, so I think this game is going to be closer than

01:14people expect. The Lions are looking to snap that Thanksgiving losing streak, so I think

01:18they do get the win, but hey, we thought last year the Lions were going to be able to blow

01:22out the Packers on Thanksgiving, and they ended up losing that game, so I'm not going

01:26to rule out anything in an NFC North matchup here.
