The first two games of the Lions 2023 Regular Season are a difficult way to begin the season for the Lions. Kansas City looks like the best Lions road game opponent of the regular season. Seattle looks like the Lions best home game opponent of the regular season.

A December game in Chicago will likely be cold, windy, and / or wet. With snow and ice a very realistic possibility.

Two of the final 3 games vs. the Vikings could very realistically decide the NFC North Title.

The games vs the Seahawks and Cowboys could be the difference in playoff seeding and / or whether the Lions win a playoff appearance tiebreaker.
