CBS Sports Predicts 6-10 Record for Detroit Lions

Lions 2020 season win total is explored with game by game predictions

As the upcoming 2020 season approaches for the Detroit Lions, a vast array of predictions from analysts and pundits will attempt to paint the picture of how the season will turn out.

Head coach Matt Patricia and Co. are seeking to rebound from a 3-12-1 season that saw Detroit lose nine consecutive games and lose their franchise quarterback to a serious back injury. 

While it is likely the team will rebound with a returning and healthy Matthew Stafford, there remains a plethora of questions regarding how the revamped defense will gel, especially since the offseason program has been significantly modified.

SI All Lions initially predicted a 9-7 record for Detroit after the release of the schedule.

Here is how Tyler Sullivan of CBS Sports predicts the Lions season will play out in 2020: 

• Lions vs. Bears (Lions win 17-10) 1-0 
• Lions vs Packers (Packers win 33-13) 1-1
