Which remaining Lions regular season game are you most looking forward to watching? Now that we are at the (kind of) halfway point of the regular season, it feels like a good time to look at what lies ahead for the 8-1 Detroit Lions. Don’t get me wrong, the most important game for the Lions is the next one on their schedule. Coach Dan Campbell consistently preaches that to the team. Just focus on stacking wins—just like the Lions have been doing throughout the first half of the 2024 season.
However, we, as fans, have the luxury of peering beyond the upcoming week’s matchup. And while the Lions have put several of their more anticipated games in the rear view, there are still quite a few intriguing matchups left on the schedule... after Week 10 where they will host the Jacksonville Jaguars,
That brings us to today’s Question of the Day:
What is your favorite game left on the regular season schedule?
My Answer: I almost picked the Thanksgiving Day game against the Chicago Bears here because it has been way too long since the Lions won that game (2016!), but instead I am going with the Week 17 Monday night game against the San Francisco 49ers.
With the 49ers currently at 5-4 and in second place in the NFC West division. The game could have some playoff seeding implications, but my motivations are more simple than that.
That’s right. I want some get back for the 2023 NFC Championship game. Some good, old-fashioned, sweet revenge sounds like it would be a good time. An almost-New-Years treat.
