Lions but it's extremely close.

Matt Stafford revenge game or Detroit erasing decades of ineptitude

 

[Blitzkrug]

Rams 27-23 because you can't have shit in Detroit.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Lions in a close game . 27-24. But the Rams are a total dark horse so I could see this flip flopping . This should be great.

 

[CupofOil]

The Rams are going to shit all over my Lions especially with no LaPorta in there.

Oh well, I'll always remember the 2023 Division Title fondly.

 

[Super Fadio Bro]

28-24 Lions

 

[David Suzuki]

Rams 28 Lions 17

McVay and Stafford Vs. Campbell and Goff is too much of a miss match for the Lions especially without Laporta.

 

[JimmyApples]

I think Rams are better by a wide margin.

Lionsfan here. At least the fanbase is gonna enjoy a home playoff game. You can't take them away the Division title. And without the Refs (Cowboys game) they could've had a bye week too....

That being said: There's a reason why McVay traded Goff + draft assets for Stafford. And they're gonna teach Detroit a lesson. Don't get me wrong, I hope the Lions win. But they've got the better QB, they've got a generational Talent and sure HOF on defense and McVay. Unfortunately I expect the Rams to win this, it won't be close.

Lions. It’ll be close but that building is going to be rocking!!!!!! First home playoff game for Detroit in 30 years. Campbell will have those boys fired up. Lions aren’t going to mess things up

I see what you did here lol

Detroit needs to lean on the run game with their OL. Laporta has been huge for them this season. Need a huge game out of Gibbs.

nightmare matchup for the lions. rams D might make goff look horrendous, im sure mcvay knows his tendencies

 

[TheGreenTBer]

I identify with Lions fans. A few years ago, my team won a playoff game for the first time since like 1990. I'm a grown man and I cried. I had had a few drinks by then but I literally cried. I broke down and for a few seconds, I could hardly function. I pray that Lions fans can experience the weight of that burden being suddenly lifted from their tired shoulders. We were the playoff drought kitty buddies and it's your turn to win a playoff game now.

But this is NOT the matchup I was hoping for them to receive because I genuinely think the Rams win this game. My heart breaks for those fans if this manifests, but fortunately I expect them to be here again a few times in the coming years and it's not like they don't have a fighting chance.

You have to give the Rams credit for this season even if they do lose. They are coming in hot and nobody wants to play them, and I admit I did not see that coming in September.

Home team,Lions

 

[Luceni]

I see what you did here lol

Is it that obvious?

Seriously, my expectations have been exceeded with the division title. Third year of of rebuild/development under Campbell. They're still a good QB & some fixes on defense away to be a serious contender.

Rams are a nightmare matchup for them, i'd have rather faced packers or buccs or even them cowboys and their Refs.

 

[Terry Yake]

stafford comes back to detroit and crushes the lions hopes of a championship

 

[Tuggy]

Tough game to pick.

I think I'm gonna go Rams. Looking forward to see how this one plays out.

 

[PanthersPens62]

It will be a happy homecoming for Stafford

Rams 31 Lions 27

 

[Reality Check]

Detroit's defense has major issues with mobile QB's. Which Stafford really isn't anymore.

Losing LaPorta hurts a lot. But I think they can pull this out.

All I asked for was winning the division and a playoff win. We're halfway there.

 

[sigma six]

Am happy for the Lions fans, pulling for Detroit to go as far as they can.

 

[EpochLink]

The X factor in LaPorta can really hurt Detroit here but they do have other weapons too like St.Brown, Williams and the running game.

The Lions should really pay close attention to Nacua, who’s been in a tear all year. Also, Kupp is healthy and he might have a breakout playoffs too.
