I like the Lions in a mild upset today. Certainly will take the points and see what happens.

Go!

 

[unckeyherb]

Go birds!

 

[Osaurus]

Would be nice to see the Eagles come out with a definitive win in week 1. That being said, I think it’ll be close.

I think Eagles will win The NFC East this year and go to The Super Bowl. I think The Lions will be MUCH better than last year and if they stay healthy will make a playoff run.
This one will be close,wouldn't be surprised to see Lions pull off the upset,but I'll go with my Super Bowl pick:

Eagles- 27
Lions-24

That many points at home is attractive. I like the Lions to play tough and keep it close, but it would be huge surprise if they could pull off a win.

Eagles handled Lions with ease last year at Detroit. Detroit is improved but Eagles are too. Dont think Lions are at same level of Eagles.

Lions will play with a lot of emotion and Eagles will need to shut the crowd up early to avoid a close game.

 

[unckeyherb]

Eagles by 2 TDs

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Lions seem to go at it a little heavier in preseason, that can backfire in terms of injuries, but at the same time leave you a little more ready for week one. Agree with the 2 posters above that say Eagles should win, but I'm hoping they are just a little bit slow coming out of the gate. 🏈

The march to the Super Bowl starts today! #Forwarddownthefield #GOLIONS

 

[Deamon]

Halftime: 14-14
Final: 27-22

 

[Bozeman Bruiser]

Sun God Szn starts now

 

[jon_mx]

This is a huge test for Hutch going up against two of the best tackles in the league. I put a sizeable bet on Hutch for DROY and week one may be his toughest test of the season. Hurts is very mobile which is a weakness the Lions have.

 

[Insein]

Let's go Birds

 

[Pigskin Fanatic]

detroit crowd looks fired up, Hard Knocks effect. they bout to be disappointed. Go birds!

 

[Deamon]

damn.

 

[Zeppelin]

Hell ****ing yes!!!!!

 

[Osaurus]

Lions are all about false starts early

 

[Pigskin Fanatic]

swift looks studly. that o-line is gonna make some waves.

 

[Zeppelin]

Touchdown Lions!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Osaurus]

swift looks studly. that o-line is gonna make some waves.

Very impressive

 

[Insein]

Figured that would be the way it started. I called the Eagles going down 14-3 before they wake up.

 

[Deamon]

Really like the Lions this year. Think they win 9 games.
Birds need to respond in a big way here.

 

[jon_mx]

Great start....now let's see the defense....come on Hutch!

 

[Mt. Man]

Great job staying on his feet by Jamaal.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Williams get the goal line work
TD for Jamaal

 

[zamboni]

Very impressive

Other than being vultured ☹️

 

[jon_mx]

Detroit already has 77 yards rushing.

 

[modogg]

oof not sure who to blame for that first drive. Nice drive by Lions, but the run defense and poor tackling could be a result of off-season practicing

 

[modogg]

Detroit already has 77 yards rushing.

yikes. not the way the Eagles game planned i am guessing

 

[Insein]

Nice to see his legs still work but have yet to see him pass.

 

[Deamon]

This crowd is roaring.

 

[Insein]

Unimpressive

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Hurts
35 yds rush
0 yds pass

0 for 5 so far
Mr Accurate

 

[modogg]

Nice to see his legs still work but have yet to see him pass.

Lions are blitzing like champs. less than 3 seconds to pass is a good way to play defense

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Lions gotta keep hitting him till he hurts.

 

[Zeppelin]

There is a noticable difference in the Lions pass rush.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Hurts looking more and more like the guy who got shoved to the bench and had to apply to another school when he was at Alabama

Too sonn?

Hes so bad.

 

[Insein]

Better series by the defense there.

 

[Insein]

This is what I expected

yeah, judging an entire season off of the 1st series in week 1 is probably a tad too soon. definitely good timing for sports radio callers though

He's settled in and looked better this drive

 

[Insein]

Again great he can use his legs but he had Gainwell down the sideline.

 

[Insein]

Wow. AJ Brown saved that play. Terrible pass.

Sorry Mo, just a knee jerk reaction, apologies but it looks terrible so far

 

[modogg]

whew, nice to have AJ Brown out there.

and i don't mind the Jalen rushing. seems to be effective wy to neutralize the blitz

 

[Insein]

The play calling is really poor as well.

 

[jon_mx]

Rodrigo is making some tackles.

 

[Insein]

Now that was a nice throw.
