Lions 24, Bears 17: Both the Bears and Lions desperately need a win following their respective Week 1 losses that highlighted some potential weaknesses as they acclimate to new coordinators. Detroit has the better roster and has proven themselves in the past two seasons, and they’ll be hosting their division rivals in their home opener, which is sure to have Ford Field rocking. The Lions have a clear advantage in this one. And barring a sensational outing on offense, Ben Johnson might have to wait a little longer to get a win over his former team. — Alyssa Barbieri, Bears WireSpread: Lions by 6.5Over/under: 46.5Moneyline: Lions -290; Bears +2352025 Chicago Bears scheduleComplete 2025 NFL TV schedule: Every game, full channel lineup
