I think the Detroit Lions can keep it close here in the first game of NFL Thanksgiving action.

Chicago may sit top of the NFC North following a 25-20 victory over Minnesota, but it has had most of its success home at Soldier Field. The Bears are 2-2 SU on the road with the wins at Buffalo and Arizona while losing at Miami and Green Bay.

The Lions snapped an ugly three-game losing streak with a 20-19 win over Carolina last week and will be seeking to avenge a 12-point loss at Chicago on Nov 11. We can also note that Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky is listed as questionable with an injured right shoulder.

Bears are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games vs. a team with a losing home record and 1-6 ATS in their last seven Thursday night games. Lions are 5-2 ATS in their last seven Thursday night games and also 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games overall.

8* play on Detroit Lions.
