Bold prediction of the week: Lions offense rebounds for superb day against 49ers Last week was ugly. Let’s try not to focus on that and put our attention on the San Francisco 49ers for this week’s bold prediction of the week. Part of a season-long series Quandre Diggs Jersey , it will be exactly as the title indicates: one hot take every week about what will unfold on Sunday (or in this case, Thursday). Let’s check out this week’s prediction.Bold prediction of the week: Matthew Stafford throws for 3 TDs, no picks against 49ersLast week featured a Matthew Stafford who looked the way we expected rookie Sam Darnold to look on Monday night, throwing four picks in a brutal loss in the Lions’ season opener. After the game, New York Jets linebacker Darron Lee said “we knew (Stafford’s) signals; we knew everything,” prompting many Lions fans to go into a panicked frenzy. Contrary to popular belief, that doesn’t mean that it’s time to fire offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter, or that head coach Matt Patricia’s tenure is doomed since he lost his first game. As Patricia explained in the postgame and Lee alluded to in his quote from ESPN Glover Quin Jersey , it was merely a thorough job done by the defense in film study and preparation for Week 1. Heading into Week 2, that means the offense is bound for a refresher. Unlike the Jets, San Francisco didn’t have an entire offseason to prepare for the Lions. In addition, after the big reveal about the Jets recognizing the offensive signals, there’s no doubt that Stafford and Cooter have made some adjustments to them over the past week. In whole, that means we can go into Sunday expecting the Lions offense to look a lot less like they did Monday night, and a lot more like the competent air raid we knew and loved in 2017. Even against a solid 49ers defense, I think a refreshed and hungry Stafford comes out hot in Santa Clara and plays with a chip on his shoulder to the tune of three touchdowns and no interceptions. The offense shines and plays with confidence as they erase all of last week’s doubts in Week 2. Do you think that will happen http://www.lionscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-ricky-jean-francois-jersey , or will we see a repeat of the “Monday Night Football” meltdown? Let us know in the comments. We’re seven weeks deep into the Detroit Lions’ 2018 season, and it’s still extremely hard to figure out who this team is. I’ve already mentioned several times how odd it is that the Lions’ three wins have come against teams with winning records (well, before the Dolphins imploded on Thursday night), and their three losses have come against teams with losing records. But it goes well beyond that. Are the Lions a team that can actually control the game with a rushing attack or have they just taken advantage of some sketchy defense? Will the team drastically improve with Damon Harrison Sr. now clogging the middle of the defensive line, or are the Lions’ run defense problems more complicated than that?It’s hard to know, and with an equally confusing Seahawks team coming into town, you’d think there would be some disagreement among the Pride of Detroit staff in our Week 8 picks. There is... but it’s not much.

Only two staff members are picking the Seahawks this week. The 13 others are riding with the Lions, expecting them to climb over .500 on Sunday. That could be bad news for Detroit. As you can see by our predictions record Cheap Ziggy Ansah Jersey , we haven’t exactly been the most accurate of prognosticators this season, but who could blame us? This team has been hard to figure out, and fans have only correctly predicted one game this year. So take these predictions with a grain of salt.SPEAKING OF PREDICTIONS: If you go to this week’s On Paper preview article and leave a comment that is the closest to the actual score of this week’s game, you will win one (1) of our new “SNACKS” t-shirts.
