The Detroit Lions are coming off one of their best seasons in franchise history and walk into 2024 looking like real Super Bowl contenders given how they have smashed the team building process. Quarterback Jared Goff has experienced a revival under offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and recent draft picks have helped turn this team into one of the youngest and most talented groups in the entirety of the NFC. Head coach Dan Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes have turned this team around, and are expecting big things once again in 2024.

The addition of Kevin Zeitler in free agency is going to help sure up what already might be the best offensive line in all of football with stud tackles Taylor Decker and Penei Sewell anchoring either side of the line. On defense Detroit snagged two young potential starters with back to back picks in the draft in cornerbacks Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw, who will immediately bolster a impressive and young secondary.
Could watch Terrion Arnold play the run all day

With young stars emerging on both sides of the ball, a quarterback that might be the best in his conference, one of the most underrated defensive lines in the league, offensive weapons everywhere, and one of the best coaching staffs in the league, the Detroit Lions enter 2024 as favorites to win a tough division and make a deep playoff push. Quarterback Jared Goff has taken his game over the top and if he can continue to further his game this team could find themselves in the Super Bowl.
Record prediction: 12-5
