The Detroit Lions are still in the playoff race and don’t you let anyone else tell you otherwise. According to several sites, the Lions’ postseason odds fall anywhere between 8 and 19 percent. Those are not insignificant numbers, and with the right touch, that number could realistically jump to 26 percent or higher after Week 15.
Of course, none of this matters if the Lions don’t take care of business on Saturday by beating the Chicago Bears, but that has nothing to do with the reason we’re releasing this on Saturday and not Sunday.
