I've been a fan since 1982. I don't think there has ever been this much hype around this team preseason since then. I'm sure a lot of that has to do with lack of social media and 5 billion networks analyzing football pre-2000. Sorry, but I still think they're a year away, but I do like what Brad & Co have done. I'm officially predicting an 8-9 season with Green Bay winning the division.
Serious question - what is the preseason hype around this team like right now if they lose to GB in week 18 last year, even a close one?
Also throw in a bold prediction...mine is Brian Branch is DROY. I think that dude will be special.

I think it’s a more bumpy road than it should be, but I still think they pull off 10-7 and win the division. Being a Lions fan tells me all the hype and good buzz around this team means it’s destined to go poorly, but I felt that way for most of that second half run and they were able to keep it together.
I have no clue on the season but what I DO KNOW ladies and germs ...is that the spread is 6.5 pts and the o/u is 54 vs. KC. Furthermore I know for a pretty much certain fact that if I were to take the Lions getting 6.5 pts. They would undoubtedly lose by a last minute TD pass .. probably Mahomes to a rather hobbled Kelce with no time remaining to squash overtime. I see it being under 54 SO I vowed to Never ever bet on a Lions game again. I'm 0 and 15 For Real ...so I won't bet on this and pray for the best. A win in KC sets the media ablaze and it would be sweet.
I honestly don't see a team the Lions can't beat...I mean KC is as hard as it get, but missing 2 of their top 3 players, hard not to think there's at least a chance
That said they aren't winning 16 or 17...I could see anthing from a disappointing 9 wins to 13 or 14 wins...I think 11 is reasonable and within reality...

Well to be honest I underestimated the team last year. I think they added some nice pieces. I can't recall exactly; I think I had them at 5-12 last year and they went 9-8. So, for this year's predictions I will put them at 12-5. Complete opposite from last year. Possibly the Division Winner if you believe all the massive hype. That is 3 more wins than they had last year. Very doable if 75% of the hype is actually true. No big injuries please.
4th downs, drops, no FG....yeah yeah, got it, lets lighten the mood and celebrate true growth of this team and organization...lets start with this banger:
