In order to find out who to cheer for tonight, we need to know what will happen in the Lions/Bears game next week. If the Bears beat the Lions next week, we better hope they lose to the Eagles tonight, otherwise the Lions will suddenly see themselves tied for 2nd in the NFC North. If the Lions beat the Bears next week, then obviously the best scenario is the Bears winning tonight to hand the Eagles a devastating NFC loss, while giving the Bears a seemingly harmless win, as the Lions would have a two game lead on the Bears PLUS the tiebreaker. The last scenario is obviously the best one Lions fans can hope for (except maybe a tie tonight?). I was having this debate with friends last night, and it seems it basically boils down to this.
