Luke Sims of Black & Teal‘s prediction: Jaguars win
"Honestly, marking it as a win. Growing up, my brother was a Lions fan. I have a bit of a soft spot for them and I would like to see them do well, but I have very little faith in Jim Caldwell as a head coach, losing Calvin Johnson is a major blow and he quite literally is irreplaceable as one-person talent, and the Jags are surging. That said, the Lions put together an impressive late-season run in 2015 and could surprise some people in the coming season. This one is going to be a close one, but I think the Jags take it. I’d like to see it be high-scoring game with Bortles and Stafford showing just how great they are as quarterbacks. That’s just exciting football to watch."
Lions’ record: 2-11
