Chicago will need another win in the Motor City on Thursday in order to remain in the hunt for a second consecutive postseason appearance.Before we break down Thursday's game, here's how you can follow the action in real time.How to watchDate: Thursday, Nov. 28 |Time:12:30 p.m. ETLocation:Ford Field (Detroit, Michigan)TV: Fox|Stream: FubuTV ( )Follow: PreviewAfter a 3-5 start, the Bears have won two of their past three games on the strength of a defense that has allowed just 44 points over that span. As they were a year ago, the Bears' defense is still among the league's best. Led by linebackers (82 tackles), (6.5 sacks, five forced fumbles), defensive tackle (six sacks) and defensive back (three interceptions and nine pa ses defensed), the Bears' defense is fourth in the NFL in scoring and fourth in third down efficiency. Chicago's defense is also Denzel Ward Jersey eighth against the run and ninth against the pa s.Offense has been the Bears' Achilles heel, as Chicago's offense is currently 28th in scoring, 29th in rushing and 30th in pa sing. Nick Chubb Jersey They're also just 29th in third down efficiency, converting on just 30.1 percent of their third down opportunities. Quarterback , a year removed from his first Pro Bowl campaign, has thrown just 10 touchdown pa ses. The Bears' best offensive player this season has been receiver , who leads the team with 63 receptions for 764 yards and four touchdowns. Chicago's kicking game also continues to be an i sue, has mi sed five field goals and two extra points.After a 2-0-1 start to the season, the Lions have lost seven out of their last eight games that includes Sunday's lo s to the lowly . Detroit has been without for the past three games after the team's franchise quarterback sustained a potential season-ending back injury. The Lions, 3-4-1 with Stafford under center, are 0-3 without him this season, as has thrown as many interceptions as touchdown pa ses. The Lions do have one of the league's better receiving duos in and , who have combined to catch 109 pa ses for 1,493 yards and 16 touchdowns. The recent emergence of rookie running back Joel Bitonio Jersey (98 yards on 18 carries vs. the Redskins) has also been an encouraging sign for the Lions' faithful. Like the Bears, defense has been an i sue all season for the Lions despite having Matt Patricia -- a Super Bowl-winning defensive coordinator with the -- as their head coach. The Lions' defense is currently Morgan Burnett Jersey 25th in scoring, 24th in run defense and 30th against the pa s. Detroit's defense is also just 28th in the league in third down efficiency and 23rd in red zone defense.PredictionWhile I could see the Lions' offense stealing this game, their porous defense has be going with the Bears, who will ride their defense to victory while getting just enough offense from Trubisky and company. Chicago wins a competitive game while keeping their faint playoff hopes alive.Pick: Bears 24, Lions 21Check out CBSSports.com on this game and the rest of Week 13, including from Pete Prisco and Will Brinson.
