Listen, I’m going to be upfront with you at the top. Any bold declarations about the Detroit Lions’ 2020 schedule—whether it be really easy or really hard—are completely baseless at this time of year. We have no idea how hard or easy the Lions’ schedule is, because we have no idea how good their opponents are. This time of year, you’ll hear bold proclamations from just about every fan base that their schedule is either way too hard or so easy.
Case in point, the Lions’ strength of schedule very much depends on which metric you’re using.
