Don’t look now but for the first time in five years, our Detroit Lions have won back-to-back-to-back games. Following Sunday’s 31-18 win over the New York Giants, the Lions are now 4-6 on the season, and they are suddenly in the NFL Playoff conversation. Now that the Lions are on a three-game winning streak, the question is, how many wins can they accumulate before the end of the 2022 regular season? It all starts with a huge game against the Buffalo Bills on Thanksgiving Day.
How many more games will the Detroit Lions win in 2022?
Here is a look at the reminder of the schedule for the Detroit Lions, along with my predicted result for each game.
Thursday Nov. 24 | Buffalo BillsFord Field, Detroit, MI | 12:30pm ETCBS | Lose 34-20 (4-7) | |
Sunday Dec. 4 | Jacksonville JaguarsFord Field, Detroit, MI | 1:00pm ETFOX | Win 30-20 (5-7) | |
Sunday Dec. 11 | Minnesota VikingsFord Field, Detroit, MI | 1:00pm ETFOX | Lose 30-27 (5-8) | |

Saturday Dec. 24 | at Carolina PanthersBank of America Stadium, Charlotte, NC | 1:00pm ETFOX | Win 27-23 (7-8) | |
Sunday Jan. 1 | Chicago BearsFord Field, Detroit, MI | 1:00pm ETFOX | Win 27-20 (8-8) | |
Sunday Jan. 8 | at Green Bay PackersLambeau Field, Green Bay, WI | Time TBA ETor Sat., Jan. 7 | Lose 31-27 (8-9) |
As you can see, I have the Lions going into a Week 18 matchup against the Green Bay Packers with an 8-8 record. With a win, the Lions would likely get into the playoffs, while a loss would knock them out.
Aaron Rodgers will be looking for revenge from earlier in the season, and, unfortunately, I think he will get it.
Nation, what do you think the Lions’ record will be by the end of the season?
