Lions-Falcons bold prediction: Detroit’s defense starts Year 2 with a bang

It’s kool-aid season and if there wasn’t enough to be excited about already, “Hard Knocks” has given me a double dose of hope. There’s a lot of potential on this Lions team and tonight we get to see where their strengths lie against a new opponent.

I think we’ll see lots of expected outcomes, like a strong offensive line performance and a solid showing from Aidan Hutchinson; hopefully, a flashy catch from D.J Chark sprinkled in there somewhere. But where I really see a surprise coming is on the defense, particularly the back end.

Bold prediction of the week: Lions defense holds Falcons offense to less than 10 points.
