ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions have one of the league’s toughest schedules, with a daunting road slate staring them down for 2025.
Through the first 11 weeks, the Lions have road games against the Green Bay Packers, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Kansas City Chiefs, Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles. The Bengals are the lone team from that group who didn’t make the playoffs last year. Still, they have one of the league’s best quarterbacks in Joe Burrow, and should not be taken lightly.
MLive’s Dungeon of Doom podcast is here to break it all down, from win-loss predictions to what we think is the toughest stretch of games and biggest potential trap game.
