The call is clear through Thanksgiving. Detroit projects an 8-3 mark built on home control, measured road aggression, and smart handling of travel. Week 1 brings the Saints to Ford Field. That’s a win. Tough opponent, but the Detroit Lions are set to treat home fans right out of the gate. Week 2 at Buffalo is tagged as the least winnable date on the entire slate. The Bills are set to open a new stadium on a Thursday night, and that setting tilts against Detroit. Week 3 vs the New York Jets swings back to a win. Week 4 at Carolina is labeled a coin flip that falls the wrong way. Through four, it’s a 2-2 split. Week 5 at Arizona flips the script again. Detroit takes care of the Cardinals on the road.

If the Detroit Lions are reasonably healthy, that’s another win. The record climbs to 5-2 with momentum building inside the division. Travel tests: Miami swing, Germany trip, sandwich trap The road trip to Miami follows, slotted between two divisional matchups and a flight abroad. The focus holds. Detroit gets a road win in Miami. The next stop is Germany against New England. Detroit hasn’t played overseas in a long time, but the matchup favors the Lions offense. Chalk up another win. Returning from Europe sets a classic trap. Tampa Bay arrives at Ford Field off a bye while the Lions are just back from the international trip. That spot leans…","meta_description":"Opening slate: Saints lift-off, Bills hurdle, early split The day after the NFL schedule release, the Detroit Lions Podcast dove into the schedule game.
