The Detroit Lions are headed for the postseason, and their options for first-round opponents is narrowing. We now know that the Lions will finish with either the NFC’s second or third seed, meaning they’ll face the conferences sixth or seventh seed in the Wild Card round.
But all things considered, it is looking extremely likely that Detroit will finish with the three seed. In order for them to jump to two, they’ll not only need to beat a Vikings team fighting for their postseason lives, but they need the Cowboys to lose as 13.5-point favorites to the Commanders and for the Eagles to lose to the Giants as five-point favorites.
