Week 2 – vs. Tennessee Titans

Even if week one doesn’t go so well, the Lions have the benefit of returning home to take on the worst team on their schedule. A week one loss, while not predicted here, could signal trouble ahead, but not in week two.

Opinions on the Titans draft varied and there is still work to be done before the Titans can be viewed even as contenders in the weak AFC South. Both teams are building towards something in the future, but the Lions are clearly more established and at least a step ahead in the process.

The home opener, a week opponent; it’s a win for the Lions.

Prediction: Lions win

Lions’ record: 2-0

Next: Week 3 at Packers
