On the surface, the Lions look like they will defeat the Bears handily. But I am an optimist, so I will try and convince you, and myself, why the Bears can win the Monday night matchup.
I realize Detroit is at home and is undefeated at 4-0.
Meanwhile, their front four is terrific, and DT Ndamukong Suh may be the baddest guy on the planet. Plus, QB Matthew Stafford is healthy, and that was one of the main keys to a successful Lions season.
So, yes, we all knew the Lions were an up-and-coming team, but many of us are surprised they are undefeated after four games.
Yet this will end on Monday night, and no, I am not certifiably insane. Well, OK, that point is debatable by anyone who has read my writing over the years, but I stand by this prediction: Bears 28, Lions 21.
I am not selling the Lions short, I am simply thinking that crazy things seem to happen on Monday nights, and teams that should win often do not.
I may be stretching things just a bit, but I have found five reasons why the Bears can win this game.
