The Detroit Lions are giving us something to believe in

Lions are 6-7 heading into a road game against the Jets.

The Detroit Lions are 6-7 and in the hunt for a wild card spot in NFC. The team was 1-6 before turning it around. They are playing good football on both sides of the ball. They have the 10th fewest penalties in NFL.

Jared Goff is having the best season of his career. Goff was traded to the Detroit Lions in the Stafford swap. He has thrown for 3,352 yards this season, 8th most in NFL, 22 touchdowns, 5th, and 46 throws for more than 20 yards. His protection is good, he's been sacked just 19 times.

The Detroit Lions defense has improved in the last six weeks. Aidan Hutchinson is the likely NFC rookie of the year. Kerby Joseph, Malcom Rodriguez, Jeff Okudah and Justin Houston have been forcing turnovers.

The Detroit Lions beat Minnesota to improve their playoff odds from 6% to 17%. They need help from the Giants, Commanders, maybe the Cowboys and the Seahawks.

The Detroit Lions are playing their best football this season. They have the Jets next Sunday. The Jets are favored in a pick-em at -1.5.
