So, do the Broncos win at Detroit Saturday night? I dunno. The Lions are certainly playing like crap, so as long as Wilson doesn’t turn it over and they freaking run the ball well, I am hopeful.
Lions have good weapons though… they need to hit Goff often and rattle him.

Lions are the best team we face for the rest of the year, but if we lose to them and win the rest, we still have an 85% chance of making the playoffs (per NYT).

Denver
may win out.
The Chiefs just need to win 3 of 4 and the division is theirs. (And, no, I can't believe I'm actually typing this)
Been one weird fucking season . . . . .

On paper, DET should beat DEN every time. Too many weapons, many more good/great players. But they just keep shooting themselves in the foot.
Maybe it's coaching, maybe it's just Goff's limitations as a QB, maybe it's something else entirely, or a mix of all the above, I have no idea.
I think part of it is Dan Campbell just making some terrible decisions that put his team in really bad spots. Like the 4th down he decided to go for inside his own 35-yd line. Again. I mean, wtf are you doing, dipstick? Not you, Campbell.
And then Goff is just shitting down his leg on some of these gotta-have-it drives.
Maybe their coaching staff just needs another year of seasoning, idk. Maybe they need to get off Goff sooner than later, because he's really struggling lately, and this isn't the first time, as we know.
Whatever the problem is, Sean Payton will try to exploit every weakness DET has, and he'll make them pay for them a few times at the very least.
Of course, DEN still is in a large talent deficit, so we'll see how it pans out, but if I were a DET fan, I'd be a little concerned at this point, because the Lions aren't playing very well right now, and it's becoming a trend.
