“Expert” thinks the Buffalo Bills (10%) and Cincinnati Bengals (9%) have a better shot than the Lions at 8%.
NFL Expert?
Based in Toronto, he’s covered the NFL since 2008 and has been a national NFL writer at Bleacher Report since 2012 . He despises all 32 NFL teams equally but remains a fan of the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Blue Jays and Toronto Raptors. He can be reached at Brad@NationalFootballPost.com.
I consider 8% pretty good. We still had the 23rd ranked defense in the league last year. It’s certainly within reason.
Lions being in the NFC alone gives them a better chance than any AFC team besides KC. I love the Bengals but they will go as far as Burrow will take them. Bills almost seem like they are doing a cap reset and will struggle to win the East imo.
If I were to say you’re guaranteed to make the playoffs, guaranteed to not have a first round bye, and guaranteed a 50/50 chance in all 4 playoff games. That would give you.
0.5^4x100 = 6.25%
So he’s saying better than that.
A healthy Burrow for a whole season almost guarantees a trip to the AFC CG.
IMO he is the best QB in the league when healthy. Unfortunately he is brittle or has a shitty Oline and may never get the career numbers but give me a full season of Burrows and you can almost lock them in as a potential SB finalist.
Yea I love Burrow as well but he’s still not Mahomes. Bengals are my second favorite team. They are in the toughest division in football and just not sure they can stay healthy enough for a SB run.
I have no problem with this list. Numbers look low but the #1 team is only 10%. DET is #3 out of #12. That’s top 25th percentile for teams who have never won a trophy.
And if we’re being honest, the Bills and Bengals have both been closer than the Lions have a hell of a lot more times. At least they’ve both been and lost.
That said, I’m still out on the Bills. Most overrated team in the league with one of the most overrated QBs in the league (in my humble opinion).
50% chance we get there
…most likely we win it when we do!
Suck it, KC!
Exactly what I was gonna say. 8 is almost 10…and 10 is almost 15 
There’s my favorite word. “Expert”.
Does 56 years of devout following make one an “expert”?
Who decides what constitutes, “expert”?
Is there a test that you take?
Bleacher Report and expert are mutually exclusive. I’m closer to being an expert in particle physics than this guy is to being a football expert. I am not an expert in particle physics in case you were wondering.
Further … big difference between being a Lions expert and a football expert. Many of us are world class, top .01% “experts” on the Lions
…meaning…even a football expert isn’t gonna hold a candle to many of us on certain topics
Well if you listen to RICO, mahomes is gonna win a bagillion rings and the tigers in the next 4-7 years will be the next detroit team to win a title.
If he is so smart NFL Expert? He would have won enough to buy SI He is no more a expert than posters in the Den. In fact the Den fans could give him a argument pro or con for most teams just based on rosters that he likely doesn’t know.
56 years?
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
This is the best Lions team of my 64 years on the planet.
today it’s anybody with a microphone or keyboard.
So many guys out there calling themselves “experts,” that are not even bald. Ridiculous.
