The Sun-Times’ experts offer their picks for the Bears’ home game Sunday against the Lions (noon, Fox 32):

Rick Morrissey

Lions, 35-20: Detroit is a wounded team, having just added running back David Mongomery and defensive tackle Alim McNeill to a long list of players lost to injuries. It will mean absolutely nothing against the Bears, unless the Lions are down to eight healthy players during Sunday’s game. And even then ... Season: 11-3.

Rick Telander

Lions, 27-16: A whole bunch of Lions are injured, including Montgomery and star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, once a contender for defensive MVP.
