Chicago 2-2 at Detroit 0-3 - 1:00 PM (Line: Bears by 3)

Last Week: Chicago beat Philadelphia, 24-20. The Bears defense held
the Eagles to just 2-for-13 on third down conversions. Detroit had a
bye week.

What To Expect: I am not particularly impressed with the Bears
offense. Yes, rookie running back Matt Forte gets a lot of yards, but
it's on a lot of carries; his yards-per-carry average is less than
four. Kyle Orton is a mediocre game manager at best. The Bears run
defense is solid, but their pass defense is porous. I do respect their
red zone defense, however. The Detroit Lions, even when they are
really bad (like, say, this season) usually play pretty well at home.
Also, this is the first game of the post-Millen era, so expect the
hometown fans to be going wild (at least in the 1st quarter). The
Lions have an almost non-existent running game, and Jon Kitna throws
too many picks. And their defense is an absolute joke, especially
against the run. Still, I feel strangely compelled to pick them for at
least one more week.
