Basically, those divisional games are going to decide the division. If they Beat Chicago and MN twice, they have 12 wins. My statement was predicated on the Lions losing to the Bears today.

But it still appears that as long as they don't have more than 1 loss against Minnesota or Chicago, they'd have the tiebreaker over Green Bay.

We'd both be 4-2 in the division and split our two games. We'd have a better conference record under that scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the Packers win out and Lions lose just 1 one of their divisional games, they'd be 4-2 in the division as would Detroit. Common games is actually the next tiebreaker, which would NFC South (Detroit is 4-0 while Green Bay would be 3-1). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow, I know the Beas will screw it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a good team when Goff doesn't turnover the ball. He's a worse version of Kirk Cousins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{Family Ghost} Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Goff sucks. He's been trash the last month or so. Bears are lighting up the overrated Lions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their defense is so slow in the back end. They can be exposed so easily. Not only that but they are not good at rushing the passer. Hutchinson has 1 sack in the last 7 games. That is pathetic. I'm curious how high his ceiling actually is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
