The 2024-25 NFL playoffs kick off on Saturday afternoon, and there’s never been a more anticipated postseason for the Detroit Lions in the Super Bowl era. For the first time, they have the No. 1 seed in the NFC, and—it still feels weird to type these words—they are Super Bowl favorites by Vegas odds.
This weekend, the Lions are resting and relaxing while 12 of the other 13 playoff teams must put their seasons on the line in the Wild Card round. It’s a nice chance for us fans to relax, too.
