TP_Fan Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 It’s officially official, the schedule will be released on Thursday with the international games announced on Wednesday. This thread will serve to discuss all things Lions schedule and anticipated results across the league. I suspect the Lions to have 2 prime time games outside of the thanksgiving game: One road SNF game and one home MNF game. I know the chiefs didn’t want to play the bears in Germany, but assuming that didn’t change I could see the Lions opening on KC. Im ready.

Sports_Freak Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I can't remember a time when my expectations were so high for a Lions season. This is THE year... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motown Bombers Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I predict Monday night at home vs the Vikings and on the road vs the Chargers. Sunday night vs the Saints and Thanksgiving vs the Packers. I also suspect more 4:25 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Bastard Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Wish Washington played the Lions so could trash talk haha. But seriously, always a day I look forward too. My guess for us is away to the Giants and for the Lions home to Atlanta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganCardinal Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I did the schedule prediction competition in the Lions app and this is what I came up with. If I had to predict primetime games I would say @ Chiefs (TNF Season Opener), v. Raiders (MNF), v. Falcons (Thanksgiving), @ Saints (SNF), and @ Vikings (MNF).

I could see alot of those happening but despite us seemingly playing the Packers to end the season every year I think its going to be us and the Vikings since we're viewed as the 2 favorites in the division. I think the league likes the chance of having the division title being decided on week 18 between the teams involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty brutal start to the season. I can hear SOL now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodrowjr Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) Here's my guess. I think Seahawks on Thanksgiving followed by Dallas the next Thursday. Maybe the Bears in week 3 on MNF. Edited May 9, 2023 by Woodrowjr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the Lions trip to KC ends better than Oakland A’s announcer Glen Kuiper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Apparently Bengals-Chiefs is a 4:25 start. Leaves the door open for a Lions primetime game with the Chiefs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganCardinal Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Deducing the TNF season opener.... Looking at the Chiefs' home slate and eliminating division games and the international game, you're left with the Bills, Lions, Bears, Bengals, and Eagles. Bengals were announced for Christmas Eve.... Eagles are rumored for week two via a Donna Kelce Facebook post (below). She also said that Chiefs/Bears would be international, so grain of salt, though she would seem to be a very good source for the Philly/KC game. That would leave the Bills, Lions, or Bears.... which probably leaves the Bills or Lions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRamage Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Honestly, I hate when the Lions aren't on 1:00pm on a Sunday. I get that having prime time games means that the team is probably doing well and the league views the team as a draw... which is a good thing. But I like my Sunday afternoon routine. I'm okay with a 4pm time on occasion, but night games aren't nearly as fun for me. I have to stay up later, and if they lose I'm upset and it's hard to go to sleep and if they win I'm excited and it's hard to go to sleep. Honestly nothing would make me happier than for them to have 1:00pm games all season long, except for T-Day of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I would rather play the Chiefs as soon as possible. It's easier to beat good teams like that early. Like how the Lions almost beat the Eagles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motown Bombers Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I haven't seen the big guns confirm it but it makes sense since the Lions aren't going to be playing in Germany. I don't think they would want a division opponent or Super Bowl rematch. It really leaves the Lions as the best matchup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 If I have to play the Chiefs at Arrowhead, I want to do it the first game of the year. That's usually when you an surprise a team and the Lions will be their healthiest most likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think MCDC would have the guys ready to rock out of the gate too on National TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
