Rich Eisen's Bold Lions Playoff Prediction
18 Dec
Summary
- Rich Eisen believes the Lions can win their remaining games.
- The Lions' playoff path depends on winning out and other teams losing.
- Jared Goff's performance in cold weather is a factor for Detroit.
NFL analyst Rich Eisen is maintaining his belief that the Detroit Lions will advance to the NFL playoffs for a third straight season. Eisen disagrees with the notion that the playoff bracket is already set and has outlined a pathway for the Lions, currently at an 8-6 record, to secure a postseason berth.
Eisen specifically points to Detroit's upcoming schedule, including home games against the Steelers and a Christmas Day visit to Minnesota, followed by a trip to Chicago. He believes the Lions are capable of winning all three of these crucial matchups, which would significantly boost their playoff chances.
The veteran analyst also addressed concerns about quarterback Jared Goff playing in cold weather. Eisen noted that Goff has shown better performance in colder conditions as a Lion, suggesting this factor won't hinder Detroit's ability to win their remaining games. The Lions' playoff hopes may also be aided if the Bears lose to either the Packers or the 49ers in their preceding games.
