NFL Power Rankings: 2023 season

[D6]

Where the Lions rank in NFL power polls entering the preseason

............

Entering the first full week of the pre-season, the Lions are in the top half of all of the NFL Power Rankings mentioned in the article. It's very likely it's the first time this happened in a very long time.

Lions open outside the top 10 in USA TODAY's preseason power poll

.............

I rather the Lions enter the season with a # 14 Power Ranking than ranking in the top 10. This increases the chances of the Lions remaining focused and taking the Detroit vs. Everyone approach.

.........

I think the Lions should be ranked higher than the Giants entering the 2023 Regular Season.

The AFC North is probably the 2nd Best Division in the NFL, only behind the AFC East. The Browns should be ranked higher than # 22.

PFT’s Week 2 2023 NFL power rankings

.........

The Lions beat the Chiefs. Both teams played one game. It makes no sense that the Chiefs are ranked higher than the Lions in any NFL Power Rankings following the Week # 1 games.

NFL power rankings Week 4: Cowboys tumble out of top five, Dolphins surge

.........

The PFT Power Rankings, with the Lions being ranked at # 8 after Week # 3, are probably where the Lions should rank at this point in time. With the Cowboys and Seahawks ahead of the Lions in the Power Rankings ( unlike in the USA Today Power Rankings).

PFT’s Week 5 2023 NFL power rankings

NFL power rankings Week 5: Bills, Cowboys rise after resounding wins

.........

The Lions should be current ranked anywhere from # 3 to # 8.

The NFC North Race has a long way to go.

For the Lions to have more than a snowball's chance at getting the # 1 seed or even the # 2 seed, the Lions can't afford to lose any games against teams the Lions are favorite to win.
