First time this season I am going Lions...

Detroit 30 Oakland 28.

meaningless wins vs shitty opponents to lose draft position....sounds about right. 24-17 Lions.

 

[inkfreq]

...yep, because in a 16 game schedule, there are such things as "meaningless wins" and draft position for next year has ALWAYS been more important than the current season.

<eyeroll>

While I'd like to see a higher draft pick, the Lions will unfortunately win.

I'd rather have wins now that a higher draft pick.

Losing breeds losing. Let the team get back on track and get their confidence back for next season.

If higher draft picks mattered then the Lions wouldn't have so many and teams like the Patriots wouldn't be picking near last every year.

Caldwell breeds losing. Let's keep losing so he gets fired for sure.

This franchise already has a permanent culture of losing

A few wins or losses this season won't make a difference, though considering this franchise has a history of poor drafting, I guess draft position doesn't matter either.

I guess that makes this game irrelevant.

Raiders 31-20. The Lions think they are good after ending the GB road losing streak last week, are looking forward to the Thanksgiving Day game and forget to show up for the home fans this week.

I am so excited about the Lions that I decided to go shopping with the wife for a hour-ish.
I hope we win but there is no reason to get excited about a Ford football team anymore.
They are clowns as owners..

While you're out can you look for a cute lil top that reminds you of me so I can have you get it on my behalf some a poster to Michigan's board's wife?
