When Ferris Buehler took his day off he made it a point to mention that life comes at you pretty fast. For the Detroit Lions, the last three years with Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell have seemed like a blur. As they enter year four people are beginning to favor them for a Super Bowl appearance.

ESPN polled 11 of their analysts, and nearly half of them favor the Lions to make it to the Super Bowl.

Analysts Mike Clay, Dan Graziano, Jordan Reid, Mike Tannenbaum, and Lindsey Thiry all picked the Lions to win the NFC next year. Only Tannenbaum selected the Lions to win the whole thing, as he had them defeating the Los Angeles Chargers for the grand prize.

An interesting note, however, is that the Green Bay Packers were selected by three analysts, the Los Angeles Rams by two, and the San Francisco 49ers by just one.

While it may seem like a bold take, this is the new normal for Lions fans. It’s best that fans and media alike better stop and look around once in a while, or they may miss it.
