A couple weeks back Sports Illustrated's Conor Orr released his 100 bold predictions for the 2024 NFL season, and No. 1 stands out.
Orr predicts the Detroit Lions will defeat the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LIX. No complaints here!
I asked the Detroitlions.com crew for their Lions bold predictions, and here's what they had to say:

Tim Twentyman: Lions play in first Super Bowl
The Lions will play in the franchise's first Super Bowl in February. If they stay healthy, they have the roster, the coaching staff and the continuity to get there. And if they do, Lions fans will completely take over the city of New Orleans.
Dannie Rogers: Lions take long road to Super Bowl
Predicting that the Detroit Lions will play in the Super Bowl is no longer bold, so for mainly entertainment purposes, I predict that Detroit will head down to New Orleans to play in the Super Bowl without being crowned back-to-back NFC north champions.

Editor's Pick: Arnold wins Defensive Rookie of the Year
Thanks to GM Brad Holmes, the Lions have had AP Rookie of the Year contenders the past few seasons, but this year cornerback Terrion Arnold will get it done and take home Defensive Rookie of the Year for Detroit.
