… and I think
13 — 4
12 — 5 perhaps but the Lions are winning the division.

It’s really going to come down to those last 2 games IMO

I think the division will, but I personally believe it will be us vs. Minnesota, so the head-to-head will have been decided a couple of weeks prior, but we’ll still need to win to hold them off

Could probably merge this into the existing thread.
.
I think people are underestimating the degree to which names are about to be taken.
We lost our edge. From My reading of the tea leaves I’m fairly certain that it’s back. That is an exceptionally negative development for our opponents.
IMO after we’re back at the SB threshold after this year, Dan is going to have to think about better ways to manufacture chips on our guys’ shoulders. We simply play much better that way IMO.

Just so hard to predict. Schedule looks pretty soft. Extremely important to get out to a hot start. Just gotta somehow manage to have a somewhat healthy roster come December.

Honestly?
I am saying 14-3 and I will be annoyed if we don’t do it.
It’s the weakest schedule in the league. We have an elite team with elite pieces all over the roster on both sides of the ball. We should eat. And if we can’t beat the one or two actual legit contenders on this schedule then what are we doing?

Super Bowl looks good… but losing 3 of the 8 true home games would be disappointing. 6-2 on the road would work though.

Interesting tidbit: If you take away the 2021 season, we have an identical 28-17 record in home and away games under MCDC. We’re kinda road warriors.

12-5
There’ll be some Injuries, hopefully nothing long term. There’ll be one or two “i cant believe we lost to them!” games. And one or two “F yah! We’re rhe best team in the league!” games.
Just get in…and be mostly healthy

I view the two threads as different.
This thread is about predicting the number of wins.
While the other thread is about discussion of the actual schedule.

If the oline is good again I see 12-14 wins, if it’s bad 9-10 depending if the defense is decent or not.
20-0 until proven otherwise…!
Broken record but I still like the sound of it

I think the Bears and possibly GB will be out of it by then. CHI has the 1st place schedule. GB has Love.
People made the mistake of underestimating Chicago last year… I’m not doing that, they’re well coached and their offense is legit. Another year of Caleb progressing under Ben could be a huge factor. I question their defense more than anything, but I think they can score enough points to hang with anyone. GB is always tough, never sleep on them.
Place your bets…
Lions Win Total Prediction 2026
Detroit Lions Over 10.5 Wins (-130)
Based on Chicago’s cumulative offensive strength over the last two years and easy schedule in 2026, I predict Detroit finishes Over 10.5 Wins (-130) .
The Lions face the NFL’s easiest schedule in 2026 by opponent win totals.

IMO 9-8 again. I don’t trust Kelvin, at all. I’m hoping the new OC is decent, and I think he is but I’m not sure if it’s enough.
Not happy with the coaching hires that Dan has made really. His quality ones have been hand me downs.
