Lions 2023 Game-by-Game Predictions

Could the Lions win 13 games in 2023?

Let's reexamine the Lions 2023 schedule, along with a revised record prediction, after Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell worked to establish the initial 53-man roster.

While the roster is currently unbalanced, as the team has 21 offensive players and 29 defensive players, there are expectations some additions to the offense could occur prior to the season opener.  

If everything goes according to plan, this roster has the capability of securing double-digit wins.
