Since they both can't lose, which team do you want to see win this one.
If the Lions win, it may be the death knell for the Bears this season. It would likely mean either their QB situation is still a mess, or their vaunted D is failing, or both. A Bears loss would be good news for the Packers. However, a Lions win would give them a shot of confidence, especially after being flattened by the Eagles. They would also at worst stay right on the Packers heels, if not tied with the Packers.
If the Bears win, it would mean that the Lions high powered offense can be shut down (can't see the Bears winning a shootout), providing other teams a blueprint on how to do it. It would also give the Packers a chance of opening up a 2 game lead on the division. A Lions loss would be a good thing for the Packers. However, the Bears winning would likely mean that their defense is still pretty good despite the injuries, and that Griese is at least a viable option at QB. It would also give them momentum for there game the following week at Lambeau.
My take? I'm still more concerned about the Bears making a run than the Lions being for real. Maybe I'm doing too much 'Last Year Thinking', but that is the way I see it. The Bears are down, and I want to see them out. Especially with them coming to Lambeau next week. Ideally this will be a poorly played game, like the first half of the Bears - Cowboys game last week, with the Lions winning field goal set up by a Hester fumble.
