My prediction is based on the following:
1. They have one of the toughest schedules in the NFL.
2. A weak running game.
3. An injury prone quarterback playing behind a mediocre offensive line.

In response to your points.
1. This ain't the same ol' Lion's. They should've been 8-8 or better last year. They had a chance to win most of their games last year even though their star QB was out. Even Mike Ditka agrees that they were robbed a couple of times because of BS calls. This years team is much improved.
2. The Lion's have so many weapons on the field, the running game will not be missed. The Vikings have arguably the best running back in the league and they are 0-3. Barry Sanders, the best to play the game in my opinion, only made it to the playoffs once.
3. Stafford took hits left and right last week and still kept going and pulled out the win in the end. Every team has it's weaknesses, and the Lion's strength outweighs this one.
The Lion's are force to be reckoned with this year. I understand why most Lion's fans are skeptical this year because we have been duped so many times before. But this is the best team we have ever had. Believe this year.
