Bears vs Lions Preview & Predictions Before Kickoff
Chicago is adjusting to a new era. Caleb Williams threw for 200-plus yards in his debut but the offense stalled in key moments. The Bears will be without cornerback Kyler Gordon due to a hamstring injury, though Jaylon Johnson returns to strengthen the secondary.
Detroit enters as a 6.5-point favorite with the over/under set near 46.5 points. Left tackle Taylor Decker is nursing a shoulder injury and may miss the game, a potential issue for the Lions’ offensive line.
The Lions struggled to establish the run in Week 1 and scored under 20 points. They will look for a cleaner performance from Jared Goff and their receiving corps against a Chicago defense that still poses a challenge.
Prediction: Lions 27, Bears 17
Detroit’s home field advantage and veteran quarterback give them the edge. Chicago has upside with its rookie quarterback and creative play calling from Ben Johnson, but the Lions’ balance on both sides of the ball should carry them to a solid division win.
