Week 5: vs. Arizona Cardinals
You have to have a ton of respect for Bruce Arians for the way he guided the Cardinals last season despite seemingly losing everyone who played quarterback for them to injury. Losing Todd Bowles as defensive coordinator is a blow but getting back Carson Palmer will be big in allowing the Cardinals to be competitive again in 2015.
It feels like the Lions are always traveling to the Desert to take on the Cardinals but this time it’s the Cardinals that have to make the trip. That shifts the edge in the Lions favor in this game that could have serious Wild Card implications.
Prediction: Win (3-2)
