Lions almost swept GB last year, falling by 2 after sporting GB a 14 point lead on the road in Week 4 and beating them 7-3 at home after knocking Rodgers out in week 14. Common knowledge but consider also:
GB now has 4 offensive points in the last 6 quarters against the Lions.
GB has the longest current NFL winning streak, 7 games. Detroit is second with 4 games.
A split for the Pack would be a good outcome, considering the above.
GB 12-4, first in the division.
Det 9-7, just miss wildcard, lose too many games they should have won, just like in 2010.
Chi 9-7, just miss wildcard, getting old quickly.
Min 6-10, and that's assuming they land McNabb.
The real fight for the NFC Norris Division starts in 2012 when the Lions figure out how to win close games.
Also, the three voters who picked 6 wins must be counting on that 8 game schedule I keep hearing rumors about.
