Week 10 spoiler alert (THE 3-5 LIONS VISITING THE 5-3 BEARS: Watching Detroit's loss to Seattle two weeks ago, I saw a Lions team that simply wasn't the equal of the Seahawks. That was doubly the case in last Sunday's 24-9 stumble in Minnesota. The Lions turned a pair of Vikings turnovers into a field goal and a hideous play that saw a scrambling Matthew Stafford wildly pitch the ball toward Kerryon Johnson, spawning a scoop-and-score for Minnesota DE Danielle Hunter. Two takeaways essentially resulting in negative-four points for Detroit. Did I mention the Lions also gave up an outrageous 10 sacks? Detroit has issues, but this is also the squad that dominated the Patriots on "Sunday Night Football" and put up 30-plus points in wins over the Packers and Dolphins. We mentioned the Bears in this space a week ago as a team that couldn't afford to do what those Vikings did earlier this season: trip up against a deathly unwatchable Bills team. Chicago took care of business in grand fashion last Sunday and now has the chance to create separation in the North with two tilts against the Lions over the next three weeks sandwiched around a showdown with Minnesota. You can look suspiciously at a five-win team that has piled up its three most recent victories over the Buccaneers, Jets and Bills, but Chicago systematically hammered those struggling clubs. I trust coach Matt Nagy to prevent a letdown, but the Lions always have a chance with Stafford at the controls.

NFL Week 10: Preview and Analysis of Every Sunday Game (LIONS (3-5) AT BEARS (5-3): Bears first-round rookie linebacker Roquan Smith is coming to life. He had the big forced fumble that Eddie Jackson returned for a touchdown early in the Bills game, and, more tellingly, Smith flashed as a gap attacker in run defense. He was beaten in man coverage a couple of times early in that game—once by running back LeSean McCoy in the flats and once by tight end Jason Croom on a crosser. The Bears play straight man coverage about six to 10 times a game; Matthew Stafford will go at Smith on these. On run plays, though, the Lions should try to avoid Smith.): https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/11/08/week-10-nfl-previews-analysis-picks
