Another sign that we are inching closer to the 2024 season was the release of the schedules on Wednesday night, which finally gave us a look at the ' complete slate of games with dates and times.While the Week 5 bye isn't ideal, the Lions have a total of five primetime games in 2024, the same total they had last year. It's hard not to be impre sed with how far Detroit has come in that regard after years of not getting them much.In our for the Lions, we have them going 11-6 in 2024. That would be a slight step down following a 12-5 season, but it's fair to expect that could happen and 11 wins will still be enough to win the division.However, with such a talented roster, it certainly isn't crazy to think the Lions can match or even better their 2023 win total during a season in which Detroit has Super Bowl aspirations.Now, let's go around the NFL landscape and see how many wins experts are projecting for the Lions following the schedule release on Wednesday night.Lions record predictions: 11-6The thing about winning the division is that you then have to play a first-place schedule the following Willie Stargell Jersey season. That's the predicament the Lions find themselves in. Their schedule is headlined by the Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans (yes, they belong here), their top competition for the NFC North title in the Green Bay Packers and an NFC Championship rematch with the San Francisco 49ers.The good news: the Lions should be up for it. General manager Brad Holmes shored up the secondary this offseason, acquiring three good corners via trade and the draft, while also providing depth to the trenches on both sides of the ball. QuarterbackJared Goffreceived the richest vote of confidence he could have asked for in an extension that makes him the second-highest-paid quarterback by annual contract value. He now has every incentive to live up to it. Dan Campbell's guys know what it's like to have the Super Bowl in their sights only to have it ripped away from them and they're not looking to feel that way again this year.: 13-5The Lions have continuity on offense with play-caller Ben Johnsonpa sing uphead-coaching jobs to stay in Detroit for a third year. They lost wide receiver Josh Reynolds in free agency, but his departure could open up more opportunities for 2022 first-round pick Jameson Williams.Detroit lost guards Halapoulivaati Vaitai and Jonah Jackson in free agency, but it signed Kevin Zeitler.Most importantly, the Lions addre sed their biggest defensive weakne s by adding multiple cornerbacks. Detroit signed Amik Robertson, acquired Carlton Davis from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and selectedTerrion ArnoldandEnnis Rakestraw Jr.with its first two draft picks.Over the past two seasons, the Lions offense has led their surge in the standings. This season, their defensive additions could take them to another level.: 11-6TheDetroit Lionswere just a few plays away from playing in the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history. It was a marvelous season, as Dan Campbell turned the Lions into a bonafide contender.The best news of the offseason was that they retained coordinator Ben Johnson, widely viewed as one of the NFL's brightest offensive minds. Detroit should be highly competitive again and have a chance to be even better.MORE: Jt Brubaker Jersey
