The Sun-Times’ experts offer their picks for the Bears’ game Sunday against the Lions at Soldier Field:
RICK MORRISSEY
Bears 20-17
Let’s see: A struggling Lions team and an absence of high expectations for the Bears. Sounds like Mitch Trubisky’s kind of game. It’s not a sure thing, given Mitch’s low-watt history, but it is a recipe for a Bears’ victory. Season: 7-4.
RICK TELANDER
Bears 12-10
I predicted the Bears wouldn’t lose four in a row. Then I predicted they wouldn’t lose five in a row.
