PREDICTIONS FOR DETROIT IN 2018:

The Lions are starting off this coming season with a new head coach Matt Patricia as well as a new defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni however they will be losing a pretty good outgoing DC in Teryl Austin who will have plenty of weapons to work with in Cincy. One thing you can always count on is Detroit having a good offense BUT they are stuck in the same rut New Orleans was in until the Saints got lucky in the draft and got some defensive weapons and a really good running back and if Detroit could get two or three really good players on defense and a good running back they would be right with New Orleans competing for the conference but they Lions are gonna need these extra pieces before they can get more than just 9 wins and a wild card berth they have to shoot for more. Besides having to play two very hard tough division teams Green Bay and Minnesota twice they also have New England,Dallas,Carolina,Seattle,L.A. Rams,San Francisco,Arizona,etc. Bovada/Vegas has the Lions winning 8 games and i think they will hit eight possibly nine wins in 2018.
