ANALYST PREDICTION WINNER
Carmen
DeFalco
(4-1)
 BEARS 27, LIONS 20
Lovie moves to 9-2 with another Monday Night Football win.
 
Jeff
Dickerson
(3-2)
 BEARS 27, LIONS 20
The Bears protect Jay Cutler just enough to allow the quarterback to exploit Detroit's banged up secondary.
 
Jon
Greenberg
(4-1)
 LIONS 24, BEARS 23
The Bears' defensive TD parade ends and the Lions put pressure on Cutler with all of MNF's camera ready to capture his reactions. Megatron goes for two TDs.
 
Melissa
Isaacson
(3-2)
 BEARS 27, LIONS 17
Will Bears' momentum hold up against Lions' chippiness? Lion tamer Matt Forte will be the deciding factor.
 
Scoop
Jackson
(4-1)
 BEARS 25, LIONS 16
Megatron has only one TD so far this season; he'll probably leave the game Monday night with the same number of TD catches.
 
John
Jurkovic
(4-1)
 BEARS 31, LIONS 17
The Bears hit the bye at the right time. They will be primed for a great performance on Monday night.
 
Scott
Powers
(4-1)
 BEARS 31, LIONS 17
The Bears just keep on rolling after their bye week and knock the Lions further out of the North picture.
 
Marc
Silverman
(5-0)
 BEARS 27, LIONS 20
Cutler throws two touchdowns. Stafford throws two interceptions.
 
Sarah
Spain
(4-1)
 BEARS 27, LIONS 13
Bears come out on top in a chippy affair by the lake.
 
Harry
Teinowitz
(4-1)
 BEARS 23, LIONS 13
Unless Verlander, Cabrera and Fielder are going to play with them, I see a long Monday night for the Motor City kitties!
 
Tom
Waddle
(4-1)
 BEARS 27, LIONS 20
Bears usually deliver after the bye. The good times continue to roll!
 
Michael
Wilbon
(4-1)
 BEARS 35, LIONS 17
Offense just starting to kick it into gear; defense playing as well as any defense in the NFL. The Lions make way too many dumb mistakes for a team with this much talent and these aspirations.
 
Michael
Wright
(4-1)
 BEARS 31, LIONS 20
Undisciplined play snowballs on the Lions.
 
Madden 13
(4-1)
 BEARS 30, LIONS 20
The Bears laugh last, hitting for ten points in the final minutes to pull out the win. Jay Cutler finishes 19-of-27 for 285 yards and two TDs.
