Week 1 - Let's talk about the Lions

[TLO]

Looks like the Chiefs are 6.5 point favorites according to Vegas.

How do you see this one playing out?

[Molitoth]

the Lions are my second fav team, but I'll be rooting my favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs.

Holy God, thank you.

Forget the spread. KC has been terrible about covering for the last couple years. Plus, the Chiefs only managed 6 double-digit Ws in 2022. Take out those games, and the average margin of victory for KC was about 3 points.

IIrc, DET is going to be missing a few players that would've been possible difference makers, i think due to injury?

of course, we'll be missing CJ. Possibly Toney. Depends on how much he practices next week and how well, I'd imagine.


i think the game will be a lot closer than it should be, due to CJ's absence. Not just because of his pass-rushing either. He's become the best run-stuffer on the DL as well, and DET likes to run the ball. That should narrow the margin somewhat for DET.

And we can't forget that DET won 8 of their last 10 in 2022, in large part due to their defense coming together.


And their offense is credible. Goff can play the position, and while not elite, he can stand and deliver passes anywhere on the field, if not harassed too much. It helps that he has a nice array of WRs to throw to, and a solid RB corps to take some of the heat off of him.


However, it's Week 1, and I expect DET to come out a bit rusty. Chiefs usually come out pretty good in the opener, so I expect the Chief to win, though by 3-4, not 7.

The Lions could be tough this year. It will all depend on if Goff improves or if he becomes Goof again. They have a lot of talent on offense so it will be a good test of our defense without Jones (most likely).

I think this offense will move the ball and score well against their defense although I am intrigued to see how our new Ts match up against Hutchinson.

If there was one team I would love to see win it all if KC doesn't it would be the Lions. That fanbase has suffered more than almost any other.

What kind of bundle of sticks ass shit is this?

[Bearcat]

Feels like the opener against the Cards... fake hype after the Lions *checks notes* beat two 9-win playoff teams and the looked-like-a-9-win-team Vikings.

[Demonpenz]

The last time the chiefs faced goff he went for 500

You might want to check which roster TJ Hockenson is actually on.

Thanksgiving gets here earlier and earlier every year

[In58men]

It’ll come down to the wire like always.

It’ll be something like 24-28, Detroit has the ball with 1:26 left and 1 timeout. Chiefs get a turnover to seal the game.

Weird. I literally just looked at their roster on ESPN and TJ was on there.

But you're right; I remember TJ going to MIN last year. My bad.

I seenn no it more like Detroit has the lead late, but Pat pulls another rabbit outta his hat. In the form of a last second TD to Ross!

I will cum.

Cum will be everywhere.

[Wisconsin_Chief]

It’s going to be a boat race, the Lions are going to put up points on this defense without Jones. Chiefs can light up their defense even more though, so we should pull it out.

Going to be a fun one to start the year.
