Bears (7-3) at Lions (4-6)

-

Time, TV: 12:30 p.m. ET, CBS

Pregame.com line: Bears by 31⁄ 2

Bears’ keys: The Bears trounced Detroit in Week 10 in Chicago despite almost no contributi­on from the running game (36 yards on 19 carries on designed runs). Being so one-dimensiona­l is unlikely to succeed on the road and with top Lions CB Darius Slay back after missing the first meeting. QB Mitchell Trubisky is day-to-day with a shoulder injury. But the Bears should attack the weak points in the secondary since WRs Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller are capable of exploiting coverage holes.

Lions’ keys: The loss of RB Kerryon Johnson to a knee injury made the upset of the Panthers feel like a loss. It’s up to versatile RB Theo Riddick to create opportunit­ies for QB Matthew Stafford to take shots to WR Kenny Golladay.

Who wins? Detroit has won five in a row at home over the Bears and four of five in its annual Thanksgivi­ng Day hosting duties. Lions, 24-20
