The Detroit Lions (2-13) have a good shot at getting their third win of the season as they host the Chicago Bears (6-9) on Sunday.  The Lions are still without Mathew Stafford, and with Drew Stanton throwing three interceptions last week the Lions should start Daunte Culpepper.  Whoever they start under center, they need to make sure they don’t turn the ball over as that has killed the Lions all season long.  Either way, the Lions will need a big day from their running back Maurice Morris.  The Bears give up 128 rushing yards per game, so Morris should find success.

The Lions secondary needs to be aware of Devin Aromashodu, who stepped up big time last week for the Bears.  He caught 7 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown, helping the Bears upset the Minnesota Vikings last week.  With Devin Hester out and possibly Johnny Knox too, Jay Cutler’s new favorite target is Aromashodu so if the Lions can shut him down it will bode very well for them.  They need to stop Bears’ running back Matt Forte too.  He has not had a good season, but he found a lot of success against the Lions earlier in the season with 121 yards and a touchdown, so they cannot let him have a repeat performance.  If they cannot stop those two, they will not have much of a chance against the Bears.

PREDICTION:  Detroit Lions 13, Chicago Bears 24
