Immediately, I see the opener vs. the Eagles as a fun start to the year, especially at home. A trip to New England is always exciting. Buffalo coming to town on Thanksgiving will be fun (for Buffalo). And finishing the season in the tundra that is Lambeau Field.

Overall, this schedule seems like it leans on the weak side, and the Lions should be able to win more games this season.

The Lions won three games last season and Vegas has them at 6.5 wins this year. Training camp and preseason will begin in August, with HBO’s Hard Knocks bringing in cameras, so stay tuned for more Lions content.
