### Detroit Lions Aim to End Thanksgiving Day Drought Against Chicago Bears

The Detroit Lions are set to face off against the Chicago Bears in their Week 13 matchup on Thanksgiving Day, with the game taking place in downtown Detroit. The Lions, boasting a 10-1 record, are keen on breaking their Thanksgiving Day losing streak that dates back to 2016. More importantly, they aim to solidify their position in the division by securing a win against their divisional rivals, the 4-7 Bears.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell emphasized the significance of this game, not just for the sake of ending the Turkey Day drought, but also for maintaining a positive momentum heading into a brief break. "Number one, get a W, right? And it’s a division win that’s why this is huge," Campbell said. He added that a victory would be particularly uplifting for the players, who will get a couple of days off to spend with family and friends. "It’d be nice to feel good about it when you’re with everybody because it’s just not really fun (if you lose),” he mentioned, emphasizing the emotional boost a win would provide.

The Pride of Detroit staff appears optimistic about the Lions' chances, as reflected in their Week 13 predictions. Hamza Baccouche and Kellie Rowe, each with a 10-1 record for the season, predict a narrow win for the Lions, with scores of 24-21 and 30-20 respectively. Max Gerber, Al Karsten, Jerry Mallory, Alex Reno, Ty Schalter, John Whiticar, and Zac Snyder also foresee victories for the Lions, albeit with varying margins. Chris Perfett, who holds an unusual 0-1-9 record, predicts a rare score of 34-34, suggesting a tie.

The stakes are high as the Lions not only seek to end a long-standing Thanksgiving Day jinx but also aim to build on their impressive season record. Fans and analysts alike will be keeping a close watch to see if Detroit can make this Thanksgiving a memorable one for all the right reasons.
