Chicago Bears vs Detroit Lions Preview

For the second time in three years, the Bears and Lions will kickoff the Thanksgiving feast.

In the 2019 edition of this matchup, Chicago recorded a 24-20 win on the back of Mitchell Trubisky throwing for 338 yards and outduelling Lions backup David Blough.

There is not a lot to get excited about in this matchup with the 3-7 Bears favoured over the 0-9-1 Lions, but you could very easily talk yourself into a Detroit upset for three reasons.

Firstly Jared Goff is returning to the lineup after missing Week 11 with an oblique injury and will be the better of the two quarterbacks between him and Andy Dalton, who is starting for the injured Justin Fields.

Secondly, underdogs have been the better bet in 2021, going 92-73 against the line.

Finally, if the rumours are to be believed, Chicago will be firing Matt Nagy after this game regardless of the result so the Bears may be wanting their soon to be former coach out the door.

Take Detroit at the line for a little bit of insurance.
