I know stats dont tell the whole story but when one team is better than the other team at 11 out of 12 categories that has to mean something....

However the Bears have played tougher teams (Saint, Falcons) but the Lions have played 3 games on the road.

I still think the Lions should win -especially since its a MNF game at home.

I don't read too much into the defense when Chicago has played GB and NO, two supercharged high scoring teams. That will inflate the stats a bit.

Statistics are like bikinis, yes, they can be very revealing but they hide the most important parts.
