MACHINE CHOICE FOOTBALL: 18-10
The Bears haven't been road-tested much this year and the Lions have only played one home game, so I think this sets up a nice intangible for the Lions. Also, consider that they have a chance to match the 1956 team in starting 5-0 and the fact that they haven't had a regular season MNF game there in 10 years. It just seems to me that it is going to be a frenzied environment. Well, Cutler doesn't do well in chaotic situations. I don't see how anyone can really back him here, his body language exudes losing.
If you can imagine the amped and adrenalized emotions for the Detroit team, I think that is going to carry them in the first quarter, and then the teams will settle into a dogfight. Now, I am concerned about Detroit at the SS postion where they have lost both starters. But they have brought in former Titans DB Vincent Fuller for this game, so we'll see how he does.
Tonight's game: The Bears 30th ranked passing defense has me drooling when matched up against Stafford and Megatron, and the Bears are also suspect against the rush (25th ranked) while Dteroit beats them solidly in both categories. As to the offense, Bears are clearly out-classed here and that will be on display throughout the game. I'm looking for a Cutler implosion tonight, Detroit already has 7 INTS this year and that figure will increase by three tonight.
Detroit 31
Bears 20
I'm buying half a point because six is a key number.
LIONS -6
