16-0 is my prediction :wink:

I'd say 9-7 is most likely.
10-6 is second most likely.
8-8 is third most likely.

I voted 8. The defence looks shaky

I went with 10

You guys are setting yourselves up for disappointment!

I think they'll finish 7-9, they'll likely get four losses from Minnesota and Green Bay and they'll still have to play teams like Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Carolina on top of other decent teams like cincy, tampa, etc.

Hopefully GB has their playoff spot locked up and we can get a freebie at the end of the season. I have a feeling our playoff hopes will come down to the last week of the season again.

Picks are right in line with over/under mostly, which is set at 8.

I have them at 7 or 8, crazy how a lot of the pundits have them at 4 or 5 and think it's justified

My 16-0 prediction can still happen!

If that is not on the goal-line, the refs place the ball probably .5 yards inside the line
Process of the catch begins when he has full control, its literally a milisecond difference between no control and control, and since the play was called a TD and there wasn't enough evidence to overturn, should have remained a TD.

Even if we were to concede that tate was down, at the point in which Refs "say he was down", there is 11 seconds on the clock still and we should have got another play.

Either way , we lost because refs are too stupid

And of course a very similar play happens to the cowboys and the call goes their way..

Woo lions win and are now 3-1 and could of been 4-0 to start the season

MotownMadness · Post #20 » by **MotownMadness** » Sun Oct 1, 2017 8:41 pm

Their offense hasn't been very explosive as of late but that defense has been legit, 4-0 in my eyes.

How many wins will the Lions have this year?
