The Detroit Lions, coming off back-to-back losses, will try to get back into the winning column and keep their playoff hope alive against the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving Thursday at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan.

After losses against the Arizona Cardinals and the New England Patriot, the Lions enter their showdown against the Bears with only one goal in their mind - win.

At 7-4, Detroit has already conceded the top spot in NFC North to the red-hot Green Bay Packers (8-3), but they can certainly make the race interesting down the stretch if they can somehow win their next four games before their clash with the Packers on the final day of the regular-season.

On the other hand, the Bears are looking to make one last push towards postseason qualification. Chicago has won two consecutive games against Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Minnesota Vikings to improve their record to 5-6.

Although the odds for them to secure a playoff spot are narrowing each passing week, the Bears are nevertheless expected to give their best shot in the last five games of the season.   

Players to Watch:

All eyes will be on the starting quarterback for both teams to take the spotlight in this all-important game. Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has already covered 2,943 passing yards with 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, while Jay Cutler has a better statistical line with 2,825 passing yards along with 22 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

Still, the Lions apparently have better weapons to make their passing game work with Pro Bowl wide receiver Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate waiting in the wings.

Experts' Prediction:

ESPN NFL analysts Michael Rothstein and Michael Wright both picked the Detroit Lions to win over the Chicago Bears in a hard-fought battle.

Rothstein believed the Lions will find a way to score touchdowns against a Bears defense that ranked 12th in the league at 106.8 opponents rushing yards per game and 28th at 260.5 opponents' passing yards per contest.

Meanwhile, Wright believed the latest meeting between the Lions and the Bears will be a close one than people expected with Detroit grinding a 22-20 victory. The ESPN analyst cited the Lions' defense as the determining factor in their matchup.
