Chicago Bears vs Detroit Lions Live Stream: Watch NFL 2014 Thanksgiving Day Football Online (CBS TV Preview)
The Chicago Bears will play the Detroit Lions on Thursday in three Thanksgiving Day 2014 games in the NFL. The Lions will be big favorites to win this one; they have home advantage and have been by far the better team throughout the season so far. The game is scheduled to start at 12.30 p.m. ET and takes place from Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS network or online through live stream (details below).
This all NFC North match up will see second play third in the division, and the Lions are the ones with the more pressure on them, as they know they have to win to maintain pressure on the top placed Green Bay Packers.
Coming into today's game, the Packers are leading the division with an 8-3 record, where as the Lions are a game back on 7-4.
Meanwhile, the Bears have had a torrid season, and are fighting today just to get back to .500. They are on 5-6, and most analysts believe they will not have what it takes to win on the road today against a very strong Lions team.
The quarterback match up today will see Jay Cutler go up against Matthew Stafford. Cutler is 267 of 400 for 2,825 yards and 22 touchdowns, where as Stafford is 244 of 415 for 2,943 yards and 13 touchdowns.
The Lions are on the slide though, having played arguably the two best teams in the NFL over the past two weeks. Last week they lost 9-34 on the road to the New England Patriots, and the week prior to that they lost another road game to the Arizona Cardinals, where they were defeated by a scoreline of 6-14.
However, their task today should be much simpler, and the Bears are no Patriots or Cardinals. The Lions should be confident that they can claim the win today if they can be on top of their game.
