The beginning of the 2022 NFL season is just a few days away, and our experts here at The Action Network have a new slate of win total over/unders that they love. Up-and-coming squads, perennial playoff teams, cellar-dwellers – they have it all covered and break down each pick below.
The Lions were much better than their 3-13-1 record indicated last season. Here were their ranks in some of the key metrics I like to look at:
- One-score game luck: 2-5 (third worst)
- Pythagorean wins over expected: -1.9 (fourth worst)
- Adjusted games lost due to injury: Third worst
With average one-score game and injury luck, the Lions could easily win a few more games this season. They will also see the third-biggest jump in terms of SoS after having the fifth-toughest schedule in 2021 and will have the third-easiest schedule in 2022.
