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

The Detroit Lions (10-1) will take the game up Chicago Bears (4-7) in Week 13 on Thanksgiving Day in downtown Detroit. 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 heading into a few days off with the family.

“Well, I think there’s two things,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said of securing a win on Thanksgiving. “Number one, get a W, right? And it’s a division win, so that’s huge. Number two is because the players get a couple days off. So they have family (and) friends in, it would be nice to have it’s good when you’re with everyone because it’s just not fun (if you lose)…. Then we all want it. It’s a long time coming, but we have to win to win. “
