When the Detroit Lions 2023 schedule was originally released, my first observation was that it was frontloaded with difficult matchups. I figured that if they could navigate their way to a winning record before their bye week, they would coast to the NFC North title and a spot in the NFL Playoffs.

The Detroit Lions find themselves with a promising schedule for the second half of the 2023 NFL season. While other NFC rivals are set to face tougher challenges, Detroit’s path seems relatively smooth, with only one game against a team boasting a winning record—the Dallas Cowboys.
Mike Florio, a seasoned NFL insider, sees this as a golden opportunity for the Lions to achieve a remarkable feat. Speaking with Chris Simms following the Lions’ victory over the Raiders on Monday Night Football, Florio made a bold prediction for the Lions over their final nine games of the regular season.
