Last year the Lions were 1-6 heading into week 9. They went 8-2 the rest of the way. Which team, with a horrible record right now, do you think will finish the season off strong and be a spoiler along the way?

Last year the Dolphins were 8-3 heading into week 13 and then finished off with 5 straight losses, almost missing the playoffs. Which team, with a great record right now, do you think will end the year with a bad streak of losses?

My fear is that my Lions are about to come up against a bunch of bad losses. 5 divisional games (which always can go either way) two of which are against the Vikings who are putting together a streak and getting healthy plus 2 more against the Bears who have a mobile QB that seem to give the Lions D fits. Plus the Cowboys! Maybe its the 30 year Detroit fan in me expecting the worst, but I fear them even losing the division. Its set up too perfectly for us Lions fans to have the proverbial “ball pulled out by Lucy” in week 16-18.

    Well the Steelers are technically in a playoff spot at 6-4 right now and honestly it will either go horribly pear shaped or we’ll make a run to the Super Bowl

    Not sure if they count any more but Texans. Check out their schedule. I think they can make noise in the AFC.

    Bengals, Steelers, Chargers, 49ers, and Buccaneers are at +8 or better in turnover differential which tends to max at around +11 for a season with 1-3 outlier teams out on the curve–2019 Patriots hit +21-- and turnover differential is extremely high variance and extremely high impact. 3 of them will likely have no more than +11 turnovers on the season, which means getting turnovers at half the rate they have so far for the rest of their games.

    5 divisional games (which always can go either way)

    The rest of the division is literal diarrhea. Lions got the division under lock and key

    I’m pretty sure the Vikings are on a rage to get to the playoffs. I would not be surprised if they make it, seems like they are improving steadily.
