Detroit Lions Futures Prediction
Lions (+1200) to Win Super Bowl LIX
Thereโs an argument to be made the Lions should have made the Super Bowl this year.
However, a second half crumble ultimately allowed the 49ers to punch their ticket to Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.
For next year, Iโll turn to the team thatโs realistically one unit โ a pass defense โ away from a complete roster.
During the 2023-24 regular season, Detroit finished seventh in total DVOA โ fifth in offensive DVOA, 13th in defensive DVOA, per ftnfantasy.com.
Donโt let those metrics tell the whole story, though. In terms of their defensive output, the Lions led the league in rush defense DVOA but ranked 16th in pass defense.
Detroit Lions Futures Prediction
LEAN Lions (+130) to Win NFC North
There are two worries with Detroit that concern me enough to render this price too short.
First is that Detroit plays a first-place schedule after winning the division.
That leaves them with games against the Cowboys, Buccaneers and Bills, whereas their divisional foes face easier opponents.
Additionally, the Lions experienced some fortune last season in close games.
Detroit finished 2-1 in games decided by three or fewer points last season and 5-3 in games decided by seven or fewer points.
