Detroit Lions
The Lions have a brutal test this week against Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins, and the Arizona Cardinals. These are not the same Cardinals from the past few years. Arizona is a legitimate playoff contender and have an elite offense with a more than capable defense.
Matthew Stafford and company will have a tough task to get their first win of the season.
Detroit must find a way to pressure Murray and force a big play or two defensively. If they are unable to do that, they will have a tough time keeping up on the scoreboard. Stafford and the offense should find a way to put points on the board, but the defense will be key.
Unfortunately, the Lions will not be able to do enough to slow down the Cardinals. They will put up a valiant fight, but will come up short and will fall to 0-3 on the season.
Final Score Prediction: Cardinals 31, Lions 21
