Sublemmy for the Detroit Lions

What is everyone's predictions for the coming season? The hype is as an all time high for the Lions, is anyone buying it?

Vegas has the Lions at 9.5 wins, I think it's totally possible that they can hit the over. I'm buying the hype and think that this year it's the Lions division to lose. Superbowl is probably not happening, but 1-2 playoff wins could happen.

Non Kool-Aid drinking prediction is we split 3-3 in the division, and split 3-3 between Chiefs, Chargers, Seahawks, Ravens, Cowboys and Saints. Likely win out the other 5 games so 11 wins. Likely a few more wins if we stay healthy and the young players develop quickly. Likely a few less wins if o-line gets injured. If Goff goes down we are screwed.

I think we'll do better than splitting the division but will likely drop some other games to compensate at around 11 wins.

You're likely correct. I probably should have said we go 4-2 in the division and 4-1 against the not very good teams to get to 11 wins.

True. No Goff ends the season, our line is good, so hopefully that isn't a huge risk.

10 wins. I really expect them to do better than last year. NFC is definitely not a lock but theres looks to be some room for the lions to win the division.

With you there. I think 9 is the floor, but I'm capping it at 11. Opening night at KC isn't helping.

KC is a game that just has to be close imo, if we get blown out it could be a long year.
