For the first time in several years, the Detroit Lions are going to play meaningful football on Thanksgiving. Yes, their playoff odds remain fairly long, despite the team’s current three-game winning streak, but with a favorable schedule ahead, Detroit is officially “in the hunt.”
Before the schedule eases up, they must face the toughest opponent on their schedule this Thursday: the 7-3 Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen and company have Super Bowl aspirations, and halfway through the season, there isn’t any reason to doubt their ability to contest for the Lombardi Trophy in February.
