Detroit Lions
Odds
Next game odds, playoff outlook, schedule and Super Bowl history.
Detroit had a down year by its recent standard, going 9-8 and missing the playoffs at the bottom of a loaded NFC North. The offense that led the league in scoring under Ben Johnson lost its identity in 2025, and Dan Campbell took over playcalling midseason to steady it.
Campbell is back with a retooled offensive staff and the same core that made the Lions a contender. Jared Goff still has Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Jahmyr Gibbs and Sam LaPorta. The talent says this was a blip, and the market agrees.
Lucky Rebel’s Editor Top Pick
The Lions are a talent bet. Jared Goff runs an offense stacked with Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Jahmyr Gibbs and Sam LaPorta, the kind of skill group that does not stay down for long. Dan Campbell took back the playcalling late in 2025 and the offense responded. A new coordinator keeps the identity intact. This is a roster built to bounce back, not rebuild.

Lions to make the playoffs
| Market | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|
| Detroit Lions to make the playoffs | -200 | +150 |
Our call: they make it. At -200 to make the playoffs, the market is treating 2025 as the outlier, and that is the right call. Detroit has too much offensive talent and too strong a culture under Campbell to stay home two years running. The 9-8 record came in a brutal division and a down year for the offense. With the weapons intact and Campbell steering, the Lions are a playoff team again.
Dan Campbell steadies the ship
Campbell returns for another season having taken over offensive playcalling in Week 10 of 2025, a move that sparked the unit after it lost its rhythm. He built Detroit’s identity on toughness and physical football, and that culture is the constant through a down year.
The 9-8 finish stung for a team used to contending, but it came in the toughest division in football. Campbell’s standing is secure, and the goal is straightforward: get the offense back to the level that led the league not long ago.
Drew Petzing, Kelvin Sheppard and the staff
Drew Petzing is the new offensive coordinator, hired in January to replace John Morton, who returned to Denver. Petzing’s charge is to keep Detroit’s offensive identity intact while adding his own wrinkles, with Campbell still heavily involved in the play sheet.
Kelvin Sheppard stays as defensive coordinator, the continuity on a defense that has grown more aggressive under his watch. Dave Fipp remains over special teams. The staff churn is real, but the spine of it held.
The Lions playing staff
The skill talent is the story. Jared Goff throws to Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, hands off to Jahmyr Gibbs and targets Sam LaPorta, a group that stacks up with any in the league. When healthy and in rhythm, this offense scores in bunches.
The defense, under Sheppard, has trended more aggressive and needs to keep that up to support the offense. The roster is a contender’s roster that had an off year. The pieces to get back to January are all in place.
