Detroit Lions Predictions

The NFL season is rapidly approaching us many teams have new looks with newly acquired players via free agency, or via the draft. Many teams have gotten much better during this period or worsen. Some teams I expect to see improve is the Detroit Lions, last season they finished 6-10 but they were on most of they're 10 losses. If you have watched a Lions game the first half they generally keep the game close. If you look at the Lions on paper they look like a solid team, they're quarter back situation looks to have been resolved with Matt Stafford as the starting quarter back. They have a solid running back in Jahvid Best and an outstanding wide receivers in Calvin Johnson so if you begin to use Johnson more it will open things up to other receivers Maurice Stovall and Nate Burleson. They're offence seems to be looking very well but it isn't all about your offense. So on the other side of the ball they have an outstanding defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh who was a rookie last season. A very good left end Cliff Avril who recorded 8.5 sacks last season. A solid LOLB in Julian Peterson, a very good second year FS in Louis Delmas. Also most of their roster is young, they have a lot of young talent and that young talent has room to get better and better. On paper this team seems solid, they finished last season 6-10 I can see this team going 9-7 which isn't amazing but a steady improvement for this young team. The sky is the limit for the Lions.
