Detroit Lions game-by-game predictions for the final 12 weeks

Call me CRAZY but I actually have the Detroit Lions playing .500 football for the remainder of the season to finish with an overall record of 7-10.

Just prior to the start of the 2022 NFL season, I released my final Detroit Lions game-by-game predictions and I made the bold prediction that they would finish with a 10-7 overall record, which would be good enough to get them into the playoffs as a wild card team.

Well, fast forward to the present and the Lions, who are dealing with multiple key injuries, are sitting at 1-4 as they head into their bye week

How many games will the Detroit Lions win in the remainder of the 2022 season?
