DETROIT LIONS -7
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS pk
Detroit should have more success on offense here facing the Bears at home than they have their last couple games against Miami and New England. Calvin Johnson has returned and each game he should just improve health-wise, Reggie Bush should also return here, which should actually help Joique Bell run the ball better with defenses watching Bush on the edge. Chicago has just been a mess and really deserved to lose at home last week to Tampa. Detroit's defense should return to form after being embarrassed by a hot New England team last week. I have this one DETROIT 29 CHICAGO 19.
This game means everything to San Fran as they will be facing the 'Hawks in the nest in a few weeks. If they lose this one, they are almost assured to miss the postseason. The 49ers certainly got caught in a look ahead situation last week against a very bad Redskins team, but hopefully they were focusing on this one ahead of time! I think the 9ers take this one with the better defense and home field. SAN FRANCISCO 22 SEATTLE 16.
