SwiftPride Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 http://www.freep.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2017/11/07/detroit-lions-schedule/841728001/ Quote The seven teams left on the Lions' schedule (they play the Bears twice) have a combined winning percentage of .385, and they play one team with a winning record — the Vikings — the rest of the year. How do you think we finish out our schedule? Our biggest hurdles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davisblack Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I think they lose one of the Bears games. Also the game at Baltimore could be tough. The Vikings game is definitely the biggest hurdle though, but I think they will win at home on thanksgiving. VS Browns- W @ Bears- L VS Vikings- W @ Ravens- L @ Bucs- W VS Bears- W @ Bengals- W VS Packers- W That would put us at 10-6. Hopefully good enough for the division title as the Vikings have a much tougher schedule than the lions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionized Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 The next 5 games for both vikings and lions will be huge based on each teams schedule. Both teams final 3 games are against Green Bay Chicago and Cincinnati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teude Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I see Lions winning every game. But, because this is Lions, i'm not surprised to see we finish 8-8. I think that Bears away game is toughest one and realistically we will go 10-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehardlionfan Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 They control their own destiny. At the start of the year I thought they would be 8-8 or 9-7 but if their play continues to be solid 11-5 looks very possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detfan782004 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 4-3 to finish at 9-7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockcity2 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Our D gets less impressive each week it seems. Issues with ol..we look like a 500 team but I'll say 9-7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimbaWho Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Browns down. Now we've got the ruffled Bears at their place. I think Lions SHOULD win this game, but it could be tough for us because it is outside. Also, because the Bears can run the ball a little bit and if Lions can get a lead early, and Bears do... I can definitely see the home team running a lot in an ugly win over the Lions. DE Washington used to play for Chicago before signing here so hopefully he's amped, get a big game from him/ the D-line and Lions can connect for some points early to force the Bears to throw vs run. Biggest thing for the Lions, this defense, and the team really is to play with a lead. Easy to say, and every team would like this but getting out early is a big step vs always having a come back. Especially vs. universally accepted worst teams like the Browns/Bears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Friend Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 VS Browns- W @ Bears- W VS Vikings- W @ Ravens- L @ Bucs- W VS Bears- W @ Bengals- L VS Packers- W 10-6... beat out Vikings for North title crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teude Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Yeah, i would say that this year 9 wins will not be enough in tough NFC, atleast not for Lions. 10 wins or early vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nnivolcm Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Lions have already lost to several of the teams competing for a wild card. It looks like division or bust for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
