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.

I think the Bills might surprise people. They've got this guy, Josh Allen, who's historically been a pretty good QB, and he even has some good receivers now with Diggs and Kincaid. The defense is hurt, but AJ Epenesa has been filling Matt Milano's big Pepperidge-Farmer-shaped shoes pretty well. For the first time in a hot minute we even have a running back!
The upcoming schedule is pretty tough but if they beat the Jets I think they can take one of 3 from the chiefs/eagles/cowboys (probably the latter) and maybe squeak into a wild card slot.
basically if joe brady has one or two brain cells I think we'll be alright
