I think Green Bay this week will be tough with the decimated defense, and Buffalo seems to be playing their best brand of football right now.

However, it's going to be a stressful two months of being a Lions fan.

Realistically, I think the Lions (at worst) win three of their last five. Chicago, San Francisco, and Minnesota are my most likely wins.

That still leaves two additional home games (Green Bay and Buffalo) where, on paper, the Lions are capable of winning those as well.

With five weeks remaining for teams to secure the #1 seed in the NFC, here's where the Top 4 stand:

- DET: GB (H), BUF (H), CHI (A), SF (A), MIN (H)
- PHI: CAR (H), PIT (H), WAS (A), DAL (H), NYG (H)
- MIN: ATL (H), CHI (H), SEA (A), GB (H), DET (A)
- GB: DET (A), SEA (A), NO (H), MIN (A), CHI (H)

Worth noting that Richardson also had 10 carries for 32 yards and 2 TD's this past weekend.

The Lions have struggled in the past against QB's who have the ability to escape the pocket and extend plays.

Rams - Won by 6
Bucs - Lost by 4
Cardinals - Won by 7
Packers - Won by 10
Texans - Won by 3

Since 2000, the Lions are 1-5 against the Colts.

The all-time head-to-head record is 22-20-2, with the Colts leading the series.

According to #statmuse, Jared Goff is 1-0 against Indy, having completed 72.4% of passes for 306 yards and 1 TD. The Rams won that game in 2017, 46-9.

Up next, another AFC South opponent - the Indianapolis Colts.

Currently 5-6, coming off a win against the Jets.

According to #PFF, the Colts are 12th in points scored and 24th in points allowed.

With the resurgence of Anthony Richardson, I expect a close game where the Colts cover the spread.

Some stat highlights from yesterday's #Lions game:

- Goff: 24/29 for 412 yds and 4 TD's (158.3 passer rtg)
- DMo + Gibbs: 26 carries for 144 yds and 3 TD's
- Amon-Ra: 11 rec for 161 yds and 2 TD's
- Wamo: 11 rec for 124 yds and 1 TD
- Campbell: 9 Tackles and 0.5 sacks
- Kerby: 3 Tackles and 1 INT

Lions just came out with their injury report ahead of Sunday’s game against the Jaguars. Looks like LaPorta, Brodric, Iffy, and Moseley are all out. Niemann is questionable.

All expected - Carlton Davis is expected to play as well, despite injuring his thumb in practice this week.

Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated!

Three years ago, I asked this beautiful woman to be my girlfriend. A year after that, I made the best decision of my life to spend the rest of it with her. 730 days later, I’m living the life I had always dreamt about! Happy Anniversary baby!

It's official, I've made the transition to Bluesky. Twitter (it's not X) has become a cesspool of misinformation, gore videos, and anti-Semitism ever since little man musk purchased the platform.

With that being said...

How 'bout them Lions?
