Our free pick for our forum visitors will come from the NFC North division battle between the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions.

This NFL pro football game begins from Detroit at 1PM Eastern Time and its FOX providing the television broadcast.

With our free pick we will play on the Chicago Bears -4 ½ points against the Detroit Lions.

The Detroit Lions have been hit hard with injuries to their quarterback position. With injuries to Matthew Stafford and Shaun Hill it will be third string Drew Stanton under center.

Stanton is being thrown to a Chicago Bears defense that has been ferocious this season in its pass rush behind Julius Peppers.

Chicago has allowed their road opponents just 12 points per game this season.

Detroit also is ailing on defense as pass rusher Kyle Vanden Bosch is doubtful as he is sporting a neck injury.

The Lions have also lost one of the most reliable kickers in this league in Jason Hanson to injured reserve.

The Bears are getting good production on the ground with over 130 yards rushing over their past three games.

Jay Cutler has been making good decisions as wide out Johnny Knox and Devin Hester has come up with solid performances in the passing game as the running game has opened up things through the air.

The healthy Bears will have their way against an injury depleted Lions squad.

Bet Chicago Bears -4 ½ points
