Commentary: The Detroit Lions have emerged as one of the most exciting teams in the league under Dan Campbell’s leadership. Last season’s impressive 12-5 record and their ability to cover spreads effectively on the road showcase their resilience and strong coaching. The Lions have shown they can exceed expectations with their dynamic offense, ranking 8th in EPA/play, but their defensive inconsistencies need addressing. Detroit’s performance will hinge on their ability to maintain their high offensive output while improving their defensive metrics. Fans should be optimistic about another competitive season.
