Week 10 Pre-Gamin’: LIONS at BEARS (12:00 CT) – Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

Things are so bad for the Bears right now, they can’t even use the traditional 3-point spread home teams get for, you know, playing at home to be favored in this one. And while I’m not sure the Bears should be favored against anyone at the moment, we’re still talking about the Lions at Solider Field. I mean … come on.

And yet, here we are. Go Bears. You’re due.

LET THE HYPE BEGIN:

Game Info

Chicago Bears (3-5 4th NFC North) vs. Detroit Lions (3-4-1, 3rd NFC North), noon CT, CBS-TV (Ian Eagle, Dan Foutes, Evan Washburn), WBBM-AM 780 and WCFS-FM 105.9 (Jeff Joniak, Tom Thayer, Mark Grote)

Odds: Bears (-2.5), Over/Under 41.5, via the Westgate Superbook in Las Vegas.
