The NFC North battles it out Sunday afternoon as the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions go at it to finish off the season.
Detroit has finally picked up steam and has played like the team every thought they would be, but it came a little too late in the season.

The Bears have opened some eyes at times this season, but they just didn’t have enough offensive firepower to do any damage this season.
Detroit Lions
The Lions will try to grab at least 7 wins for the 3rd straight season when they visit the Bears to close out the season.
The Lions and their fans must wonder what could have been as this team started the season on a major losing streak, but have certainly picked up the steam and are playing like the team everybody thought they would be.
Detroit has won 5 of their last 7 which includes a 3 game winning streak and the current 2 game winning streak they’re on.

QB Matthew Stafford has finally picked his game up too as he now sits with 3964 yards to go along with 29 touchdowns. Stafford has been the main reason for the Lions turnaround this season as him and WR Calvin Johnson have finally rebuilt their chemistry.
Calvin Johnson has racked up 78 receptions to go along with 1077 yards and now has 8 touchdowns.
Detroit brings in just a 2-4 SU road record into this one.
Chicago Bears
The Bears have dropped 3 of their last 4, but a win on Sunday would also give them their 7th win.
With a 7th win, it would marked the 10th season in 11 that Chicago would have at least 7 wins. Their reason for failure this season has been thanks to inconsistencies within the run game along with some sketchy defense.
Their defense overall is allowing 24.9 points per game, but that number gets worse at home as they allow 27.0.

With their poor defensive play at home, the Bears are just 1-6 SU inside Soldier Field this season. In those 7 games, they bring in a record of 2-5 ATS.
RB Matt Forte has been either really on or really off throughout this season. He has compiled 822 yards and 4 touchdowns, but those are both well below his capabilities.
