NFL Week 13 Expert Picks, Score Predictions: Lions vs. Bears on Thanksgiving Day

The Detroit Lions (10-1) will face the Chicago Bears (4-7) on Thanksgiving Day in downtown Detroit in Week 13. The Lions haven’t won on Turkey Day since 2016, but they’re more concerned with securing a win against a division opponent and keeping things positive before a few days off with family.

“Well, I think there are two things,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said of the Thanksgiving win. “Number one, get a W, right? And it’s a division win, so that’s huge. Second: The players get a few days off. So since they have family (and) friends, it would be nice to feel good about being with everyone because it’s just not fun (when you lose). (…) So we all want it. It’s long overdue, but we have to win to win.”
