Football Games

This weekend there are 2 huge football games on in the Detroit area. The Detroit Lions play their first game of the 2004 regular season on the road against the Chicago Bears this Sunday. The Lions are still in the longest road losing streak in NFL history(24 games). The Lions should be able to win this game against a weak Bears team. It would be a great way to start the season if they could beat the Bears and end this terrible losing streak.

The Michigan Wolverines play their second game of the season on Saturday. They are on the road facing their rivals, Notre Dame. Notre Dame lost their first game of the season against BYU. Michigan won their first game of the season against Miami of Ohio. Even though Michigan is clearly better this season, it will still be a tough game for them to win. Whenever these teams match up, you should expect a great game. Michigan destroyed Notre Dame last season 38-0 and the Irish will be looking for some much needed revenge. Michigan will start freshman quarterback Chad Henne. Henne started the first game and looked good throwing for 142 yards and 2 touchdowns. He will need to have another good game if the 7th ranked Wolverines expect to walk out of South Bend with a 2-0 record.
