3 in a row baby! Wow not since 2007 have the Lions been able to do this.  Am I drinking the Lions kool-aid? Your better believe it, I’m drinking every bit of it. Why am  I so high on this team and what the future holds?  Look no further than over the past 3 weeks and their 3 game win streak, these 3 wins haven’t come against the NFL’s worst no they have come against teams  with winning records and two of them were on the road.

This team still has a long way to go, but for the first time since Wayne Fonts walked the sidelines of the Silver-dome, the Lions are finally becoming an NFL caliber team who week in and week out can compete with just about anybody.

Can the Lions win in Florida? Not likely since they haven’t tasted victory in the Sunshine in over a decade. Now the 3-10 Lions go to Tampa to take on a surprising 8-5  that will most likely be playing in January.

This game looks like a mismatch and it is, but the Lions have a slight chance of pulling the upset if they can  capitalize on Buccaneer mistakes and make plays on both offense and defense. Unfortunately the Bucs 8 wins have  come against teams with losing records and in the Lions once again are mired in a losing season.

I want to pick the Lions to win, and only do so because I happen to be in Florida this weekend with my family.
