We are exactly on pace for 10 wins. The Vikings, Bears, and Bucs all play in Detroit, and all are worse teams than the Lions. It's easy to overlook with the offense playing peewee football, but we still have one of the best defenses in the league. NE scored a lot, but a lot of that had to do with turnovers and easy 3 and outs.
The Lions should win their next 3 games, then lose their last two. In the likely event Dallas drops out of playoff position (4 of last 6 away, 3 of their last 6 against division leaders), that probably sets Detroit up for a game against the Philly or a garbage bowl against the winner of the NFC South. I would expect Detroit to beat any NFC South opponent, but get beaten by Philly. Philly averages a hair under 30 ppg. Even if our defense holds them to 20, I don't see our offense scoring enough to win.
