The last time the Detroit Lions won the NFC North was in 1993. In the last 30 years, they've seen the Packers, Bears and Vikings go through ups and downs but still manage to make it to the playoffs every few years. The same can't be said for the Lions, who were the laughing stock of the NFL just a few seasons ago. However, this is not the same Lions squad from years past. Dan Campbell and his young team are ready t o make a playoff push, and who knows, maybe even win the division for the first time in 3 decades?
Let's take a look at some of the odds and best bets to be made on the Detroit Lions in 2023.'
