Week 17 has the Chicago Bears heading out to the Motor City to face the Detroit Lions.
With the Lions having a shot at the playoffs, they will play this game with some extra intensity.
However, with this being a rivalry game, the Bears won’t lie down for their NFC North rival.
Despite their record, there are two bold predictions for the Bears in this week 17 matchup.
Justin Fields Rushs For Over 175 Yards Against Lions
The Lions have major issues when stopping the running game.
This led to quarterback Justin Fields rushing for 147 yards and two touchdowns in his last game against the Lions.
Justin Fields’ last four games:
vs. Falcons: 85 rushing yards and a TD
vs. Lions: 147 rushing yards, 2 TDs
vs. Dolphins: 178 rushing yards, 1 TD
vs. Cowboys: 60 rushing yards, 1 TDThe Bears lost all four.

With the Lions coming off an embarrassing defensive game against the Carolina Panthers, look for Fields to take advantage of them.
The Lions allowed 320 rushing yards against the Panthers and their defense ranks 28th against the run.
It all bodes well for Fields to bypass his 147-yard game with a 175+-yard game against the Lions.
Cairo Santos Redeems Himself At Ford Field
Cairo Santos is in the doghouse for an extra point he missed last time against the Lions.
The miss was the reason the Lions got a one-point win over the Bears at Soldier Field.
However, he will redeem himself in this game against the Lions.
While it might not come from an extra point, the game will come down to his leg.
With him being better at converting field goals over extra points, his three-point kick will power the Bears to a win over Detroit.
