By Mike Praser
I know it’s ridiculously early, but I know everyone looks at the schedule in the offseason trying to predict wins and losses. How do you feel about the matchup(s) against the Bears?

"Any game against a divisional rival is going to be competitive, especially in 2014. I know the Lions swept the Bears last season, but doing so two consecutive years is going to be tough with the Bears revamped defensive line. However, football is a game of match ups and the Lions have some pretty favorable match ups on offense. Defensively it’s going to be tough to stop Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffrey, but I still question Jay Cutler’s decision making (not that Stafford doesn’t make some head scratching plays too). I’ll go out on a limb and say the Lions sweep the Bears again this season, but the health of both teams will certainly play a factor in the late season match up."
