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.
