Detroit Lions game-by-game predictions for the final 13 weeks

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 1-3 with a road matchup against the New England Patriots staring them straight in the face.

Detroit Lions game-by-game predictions: How many games will the Lions win in 2022?

Will 7-10 be enough?

As you can see, I currently have the Detroit Lions finishing the 2022 season with a 7-10 record, which won’t be good enough for a wild card playoff spot.

That being said, considering the Lions are currently 1-3, finishing with a 7-10 record would not be the end of the world as very few thought they would truly contend in Year 2 under Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes.
