At the beginning of the season I took a look at how I thought the Lions season was going to go and made some predictions. We are now half way through and the Lions have next week off so I thought Id check back in with them.
Yesterday we took a look at who will be making the playoffs in the AFC. And, as promised, today we are going to look at the NFC. NFC East - Philadelphia EaglesThe East has two teams that have a chance at making the playoffs this year. (Sorry Washington, its not you.) With the exception of the 49ers, the Cowboys have had a pretty easy…
Coming into the final third of the season, the end of the road if you will, I have the Lions sitting at 8-3. This might be optimistic but Im fine with that. Lets see where they get the last 4 wins to end the season 12-5 and in first place in the NFC North. Possibly with a wildcard week bye but probably not? Lions…
I have the Lions starting the season 4-2. They already proved me wrong in my week 1 prediction. Im not sad about that. I will say that the loss to the Seahawks in week 2 was a disappointment but it put us back on schedule. Lets look at how the middle third of the season is going to play out. Lions @ RavensThis is…
When the schedule came out this year I suggested that the Lions could go 12-5 this season. Like last year I am going to divide the season into three parts and do my predictions for the Lions season. I was nearly flawless last year so why not take the same approach. Heres how the first third of 2023 is going to turn out. Lets…
The season is about to start and there is a buzz around the Lions that the NFL has not seen since I have been rooting for them. We are in the third year of the Dan Campbell regime and before we get into the actual matchups I wanted to spend a few minutes looking at what third seasons have meant for Lions coaches in…
Dan Campbell is the most exciting head coach the Lions have had in the four decades that I have been following the team. He is passionate, raw, and real. Two years ago, in one of his first press conferences with the team, he said "When you knock us down, we’re gonna get up, and when we get up, we’re going to bite a kneecap…
It has been a rollercoaster ride of a season this year. With three weeks left there is a lot of playoff stuff already determined. But, the 4-9-1 Indianapolis Colts are technically not eliminated. In fact, only 5 teams have been eliminated so far. Lets take a look at some of my bolder predictions from earlier in the season and then take one last stab…
Last week I reviewed my Lions preseason picks. In my week 11 recap I said "Just for fun Ill stick with the Lions in what will be (bonus pick) the first Giants loss of an 8 game losing streak to end the 2022 season." This week I would like to elaborate on that. Just to be clear, the Giants are coming off of a…
We are officially half way through the season. I wanna take a look back at my preseason Lions picks, see how the first 9 weeks went and determine if any revisions need to be made for the second half of the year. Eagles @ Lions - Lions EaglesI picked the lions in an upset in this one and they almost won. Who knew the…
