The first 6 games combined have me most concerned regarding the Lions schedule. Including the opener at Arizona. That much more if Kyler Murray is drafted by the Cardinals and he starts the opener.

One break the Lions probably got is the game at Oakland will likely be played on a surface without the dirt of a baseball infield and pitcher's mound. If the A's don't make it to the World Series, the field should be w/o baseball field dirt.


If the Lions are at least 3-3, the team is likely a legit playoff contender.
