No matter which sports book you look at, the Detroit Lions are currently picked to come in dead last in the NFC North this coming season.
Despite the plethora of moves they have made to improve during the offseason, most would agree the Lions still have a ways to go in terms of overall talent and depth in the North.

Well, according to reports, the Lions chances of winning the division just got a little bit tougher as the Minnesota Vikings have given TE Kyle Rudolph a contract extension.
While you were sleeping… the #Vikings and TE Kyle Rudolph reached a contract extension to keep him in Minnesota. A major piece of business before the summer https://t.co/gxX7rAbFgS

Though Rudolph was already under contract with the Vikings, there has been no shortage of rumors that he was on the trading block and to be honest, those rumors were music to the ears of Lions’ fans.
In 14 career games against the Lions, Rudolph has 56 catches for 559 yards and eight touchdowns. (He does not have more than four TDs against any other team in the league).
