Last year the Lions were 1-6 heading into week 9. They went 8-2 the rest of the way. Which team, with a horrible record right now, do you think will finish the season off strong and be a spoiler along the way?

Last year the Dolphins were 8-3 heading into week 13 and then finished off with 5 straight losses, almost missing the playoffs. Which team, with a great record right now, do you think will end the year with a bad streak of losses?

My fear is that my Lions are about to come up against a bunch of bad losses. 5 divisional games (which always can go either way) two of which are against the Vikings who are putting together a streak and getting healthy plus 2 more against the Bears who have a mobile QB that seem to give the Lions D fits. Plus the Cowboys! Maybe its the 30 year Detroit fan in me expecting the worst, but I fear them even losing the division. Its set up too perfectly for us Lions fans to have the proverbial “ball pulled out by Lucy” in week 16-18.

    Well the Steelers are technically in a playoff spot at 6-4 right now and honestly it will either go horribly pear shaped or we’ll make a run to the Super Bowl

      The team that’s actually on a three game win streak with a losing record does not even get mentioned

        because they’re gonna lose of two of their first three games of December and will be in the “in the hunt” section of the graphic the rest of the way.

        the Bills have 5 losses and we’re talking about them like they can’t lose another game or they’re done. Broncos are in the same situation.

    I mean Vikings are on a 5 game win streak and this is the best team we’ve had in awhile. Our OLine and Defense are finally playing great they’ve been our weakness the whole Kirk era

      Does that make us the 5 wild card and we play, I guess it would be TB/NO? A rematch or a REMATCH.

      Eh, forgot about Dallas.

    I’m extremely biased but the Seahawks have a brutal schedule and I could honestly see them losing most of their remaining games and not get above 500

      I’d love to know what it’s really like in their locker room right now.

    5 divisional games (which always can go either way)

    The rest of the division is literal diarrhea. Lions got the division under lock and key

    I know everyone is gonna think this is stupid, but the Saints are about to go 6-1. We will beat the Lions and win at least one home playoff game.
