First-Place Lions

As everyone knows, this has always been a Chiefs and Lions blog. And just 17 short years after founding it, the Lions are favored to win their division.

The Lions are 3-1. 

2-0 on the road, picking up wins at Arrowhead Stadium against the defending champs and Lambeau Field, their main competition for the division. 

1-1 at home, with their only loss coming in overtime. 

Here's their schedule leading up to Thanksgiving:

Very realistic to be 4-2 or better after that stretch, with 3-3 being the floor. 

They host the Packers on Thanksgiving and that game could basically clinch the division. A coronation on national TV.

It's been a long time coming for Detroit. But it looks like a good time coming.
