Detroit Lions 2020 schedule predictions: Picking every game
Weeks 13-16
50. Final. 21. 49. 22
A year ago in Week 17 at Ford Field, the Lions squandered a 17-3 third-quarter lead and fell by a 23-20 count. But Detroit is fared well against Green Bay at home in recent years, winning four of the last seven clashes in their own building dating back to 2013. And Matt Patricia’s team gets back on the winning track with a close triumph.
35. Final. 12. 50. 27
Lions’ head coach Matt Patricia was once Bill Belichick’s defensive coordinator at New England. Current Tennessee Titans’ head coach Mike Vrabel played for Belichick and the Patriots. Now the duo meets for the first time as NFL head coaches. It’s hard to imagine Detroit’s erratic defense slowing down Tennessee workhorse Derrick Henry.
50. Final. 31. 48. 21
It’s safe to say that Lions’ head coach Matt Patricia is more than familiar at what veteran quarterback Tom Brady can do. Of course, the duo worked together in New England for many years before the coach left for Detroit. Now Brady is at the helm of Bruce Arians’ club in Tampa and will show Detroit he still has plenty left in the tank.
19. 60. 24. 50. Final
Last season in Week 7 at home, Matt Patricia’s team put 30 points on the board against Minnesota’s supposedly formidable defense. But Detroit had no answers for the Vikings’ attack and fell 42-30. But revenge will be sweet as Matthew Stafford and company knock off the Purple Gang via a big outing from the Lions’ ground game.
