Last year, the Detroit Lions were as close as they ever were to a Super Bowl. Thus, the Lions were a hot ticket on the summer future market with the NFL betting odds. Of major concern is that the NFC North is the toughest division in pro football. They are starting with the 5-0 Minnesota Vikings. Thus, the Lions have less margin for error. On Sunday, the Lions will visit the Dallas Cowboys. Consider that Dallas’ early demise may have been greatly exaggerated. All of a sudden, the Cowboys are in the hunt in the NFC East.
