This is a pick 'em game for a good reason. This game is a coin flip. Thanksgiving is a Lions staple and they historically win those games. So I look for them to be ready to play.
But I'm going to go the Bears way, because the tape is out on Driskel and I think we can scheme up our D to mess him up. And Marvin Jones is out, so we can focus on taking away Golliday. Plus, there's always a chance the Mack got his confidence boosted against the Giants and that will carry over this week. Eddy Piniero is giddy that he can kick indoors. It's another bad team that we've been sneaking by lately.
Bears 20
Lions 16
Edit... Driskel with a hamstring is huge as running around is an effective part of his game. And he may not even play, so they could be going with QB3. Kahlil Mack and co. have to be drooling. With Gabriel and Braunecker out, will be interesting to see what Wims and Ridley can do. Somehow I'm doubting that it will be a J P Holtz breakout game, although the opportunity will be there. Updating score...
Bears 23
Lions 7

Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".
Go back to leather helmets, NFL.
