Predictions: Bears-Lions

All Lions provides its predictions for the Lions' Week 11 contest with Chicago.

I don't care that Justin Fields will be back under center for this Week 11 contest. He very well could run all over Detroit just like last year, and it shouldn't matter. The Lions should still win by two scores.

One of the major reasons why: Through 10 games this season, the Bears have allowed the third-most touchdowns through the air (20) and the seventh-most passing yards (2,482).

Jared Goff and Detroit's passing game should be able to easily take advantage of Chicago's porous pass defense. And, I also wouldn't be surprised if David Montgomery, coming off a 116-yard performance a week ago against the Chargers, has a big day on the ground against his former employer.

Spearheaded by Goff, Montgomery and a high-flying offensive attack, Dan Campbell's team should easily be able to prevail victorious Sunday.

This one is a no-brainer for me. I see no way the Lions possibly lose this game. The Bears are one of the worst teams in the NFL this year, even with Justin Fields under center.

Amon-Ra St. Brown should put on a clinic, and I'm expecting strong play from David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs as well, continuing their solid ground game.

Chicago simply won't be able to keep up, and Detroit runs away with this one pretty easily, moving to 8-2 on the season.

The Lions have proven throughout the season that they can win in multiple ways. On Sunday, a victorious effort will require a bounce-back performance from the defense, involving stopping versatile Chicago quarterback Justin Fields. 

While Fields has proven to struggle through the air, his ability to be a threat with his legs has been tough to account for. This time, however, he will likely be rusty after missing the better part of the last month with an injury.

I expect the Lions to pounce defensively, while the offense provides a steady effort in a double-digit win.

Lions Announce Week 11 Roster Moves

Detroit is seeking to earn their eighth victory of the season. Many expect this contest to get out of hand, as the Bears are a team that have a poor record and a quarterback that has not played in a month. 

While the Bears' defense is playing better, quarterback Justin Fields does not instill a significant amount of fear, as his prowess as a passer has diminished. 

If the Lions' defense can contain the speedy quarterback, it will bode well for Dan Campbell's squad to earn several extra possessions offensively. 

Detroit should win easily heading into Thanksgiving.
