Opening on the road within the division is a tough assignment, but the Lions have had the Packers number of late. Detroit's offense is too much for Green Bay to handle. Projection: Win Ben Johnson brings his Bears to Ford Field.

Even the Bears seem to be in a much better position with Johnson as head coach and a stronger roster around Caleb Williams for the quarterback's second season.
