The Lions Will Improve By Four Wins
Next up, the Detroit Lions are a team that fans and media alike don’t know what to expect from in the NFC North. Matt Patricia and company have been viewed as pushovers over the last couple of years, but they will start turning things around this season.
Matthew Stafford is one of the most underrated quarterbacks in the league. He missed a big chunk of last season due to injury and his absence was felt in a big way. Detroit can beat anyone if Stafford is healthy.
When everything is said and done, the Lions are going to miss he playoffs once again. However, they are going to improve by four wins. Moving from 3-12-1 last season to 7-9 is a huge step in the right direction.
This may not be the massive bold prediction that Lions fans were hoping for, but it will show a positive direction, which the franchise desperately needs to see.
