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.
The Cardinals have been tough in almost every game and they have Kyler back. They’re going to be a spoiler.
The Eagles are 8-1, going into a murderous 4-gam stretch l, followed by Seahawks (always play us tough), the Giants (division, no matter how bad they are), the Cardinals (see above), and the Giants again.
I expect them to be no worse than 13-4, but I could totally see them limping into the playoffs.
