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.
So, not like it's going to matter, but if you include yesterday's commanders game, the giants have a real possibility of going 5-2 to end the season....and finish 7-10. Look:
Commanders – this past weekend I’m counting that, so that was a W.
Patriots – at home, that is likely a W
Packers – at home, they don’t look very good although I heard they won a good game this weekend. Possible W
@ Saints – I think Saints have Winston at QB now, and that spells disaster for them…so that’s a possible W.
@ Eagles – give that one a L
Rams – they are like 3-6, although they surprisingly won this weekend, but they gotta come across country
Eagles – another L
Even for how poor the giants record is, they do still have a lot of fight in them....so, the irony of it all is an undrafted QB who still lives at home with his parents may wind up going 5-2 the remainder of the year...pushing the giants out of the Caleb Williams/Drake Maye sweepstakes...don't get me wrong, Bo Nix/Penix Jr and maybe some others would be worthy, but if the giants do wind up 7-10, that puts them closer to around 8-13th pick in 2024's NFL draft.
