The NFL definitely has their narrative set with the Lions being so bad for so long. Hopefully, it doesn't affect how the officials call the game - see SB v Ravens.

It's probably going up too. Line I see is already juiced.
Detroit is the darling underdog. There will be a lot of money on their side.
I thought that was the Rams..error Packers. Now its the Lions? Money wasn't coming in on the Packers last week. We will see how things look this week.

I was a bit concerned about Todd Bowles bringing blitzes but it was the Lions who seemed to bring a lot. Unit pass protection needs to be on point. Brock's got to be able to see it pre snap.
Kyle and Purdy will spend a lot of time checking all those unblocked blitzes.

I don't think the Lions are just happy to be here. They are a very good team. They are well coached and can run the heck out of the ball.
We will be favored. No question. But I would have much rather played TB.

Every playoff team would've rather seen TB, except the Eagles.

Yep, that will be the challenge. TB brought some pretty good heat but the Lions handled it. Give Goff time and he is dangerous.
The Lions wore out the TB middle coverage. Warner will change that but it won't be easy.
That is the thing..we can't give Goff time. D really has to bring it. Gunna go ahead and say..our qb is more dangerous though

True.
Bottom line is if we play to our capabilities, we will beat them.
Now, if we see a performance like yesterday, we may be in trouble.

We will only see the performance yesterday if it rains. But it looks like no rain in the forecast.

In that SB, McVay gave Goff certain instructions. Once the mic cut out, the Patriots changed formations and confused him like crazy.
It appears Goff doesn't have that issue anymore. I still think he is good for one to two turnovers per game.

I feel much more confident we will beat the lions than I did against the eagles or the rams.
