Lions fans are irked with me. I mean irked, as in mildly annoyed, as in might not want to buy me an ice cream sundae, or let me merge into a busy line of traffic. I don’t think they hate me. Detroit football fans don’t seethe like that.

DETROIT (FOX 2) - The stage is set for the Detroit Lions as their 2025 opponents have been decided at home and on the road. After a historic 15-2 regular season and being crowned kings of the NFC, the Lions are already looking ahead to later this year, and who they will be playing during their 2025-26 season.

The Lions and Chiefs are in a tier of their own odds-wise, thanks to their 15-win seasons and accordant first-round byes. But both have nagging concerns that, if you squint hard enough, begin to look a lot like vulnerabilities. Will any of their potential opponents through the postseason be able to capitalize on those vulnerabilities?
