The last four weeks have seen Chicago Bears take on all of the sides in AFC East, now for the first time since the opening weekend of the NFL season, they face a side from their own NFC North division. They currently top the NFC North as they are 5-3 for the season though they haven't beaten any of tthe other teams. Their only game against an NFC North team was their opening defeat by Green Bay. Chicago recovered well from that loss winning their next three games before losing the next two to go to 3-3 for the season. They bounced back again though with two wins over New York Jets and Buffalo Bills. This week sees them boistered by the returns of several key players including Kahlil Mack and Bilal Nichols and that will strengthen their chances of going 6-3.

Detroit are bottom of the NFC North with a 3-5 record, a loss here will make it difficult for them to win the division. Their season began with two defeats before a good win over New England. They managed to get themselves back to 3-3 for the season but have lost their last two games to Seattle and Minnesota. Last week Matthrew Stafford was sacked ten times and a repetition of that form would see them in big trouble here. Chicago are in better form at present and with key players back in the line-up, they can get a win here.
