Pro Football Network: Lions 13, Bears 10

Ben Rolfe writes: "It is hard to know what to expect from the first of the three Thanksgiving games. We could see any combination of Jared Goff, Justin Fields, Tim Boyle, Andy Dalton, or David Blough on the field. This might be the Lions’ best chance to win a game in the remainder of the year, but their defense is likely going to have to be the reason they do so."

Matt Johnson writes: "Justin Fields’ status for this game is uncertain, but it doesn’t look promising with the Bears on a quick turnaround. With that said, the Lions have the worst record in the NFL for a reason. This should be a rare victory for Chicago."

Teddy Ricketson writes: "This will be the second time this season that these teams have played as the divisional opponents met in Week 4 and the Bears came away with the 24-14 victory. Fields was the quarterback for the Bears but he left their Week 11 game with an injury and wasn’t able to return. Let’s get wild to start the Thanksgiving slate and see the Lions cover and win their first game of the year. Over his last two games, D’Andre Swift has been playing out of his mind with 266 rushing yards and a touchdown."

It writes: "Chicago WR Allen Robinson (hamstring) missed Sunday’s loss and is listed as questionable for this game. Despite all of the losing, the Lions have continued to play hard for rookie head coach Dan Campbell. Take Detroit to get into the win column with a win on Thanksgiving Day."

The Game Day: Bears 24, Lions 17

Anthony Cervino writes: "Expect the Bears to exit Detroit with a holiday win. Not only have the Bears won six of their past seven games over the Lions, but what the Lions do best on offense — which is run the football — is what the Bears do best on defense. Chicago’s defense should smother the Lions while their offense continues to grow under Fields."

Vincent Frank writes: "This is one game that the Lions should be able to stay competitive in, especially given Justin Fields’ struggles in Chicago and the issues surrounding head coach Matt Nagy. Look for a holiday treat for the home fans who brave bad football during Thanksgiving."
