Week 5 – vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Chuck Booth of Section 215‘s prediction: Toss up

"Currently, I’d mark the game as a toss up. While the Eagles aren’t a very strong team they will put up a fight in all of their games. Their defense also matches up well with the Lions offense with Calvin Johnson out of the picture. It could end up as a shoot out but the birds have a fighting chance."

Lions’ record: 1-6
