DETROIT (Michigan News Source) – The Detroit Lions and its tongue-in-cheek history of being the team who can “snatch defeat from the jaws of victory” faded into the background Thursday night in their season opener win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

The win is an extra feather in the cap of Lions fans who say the 2023-24 season is the one where Detroit could make its debut in the Super Bowl.

However, not everyone is ready to celebrate just yet. Some fans called it a “fluke” and warned there’s a long season ahead.

 

 

 

 

 

Super Bowl betting sites like BetMGM, Caesars Sportsbook and FanDuel, have the Lions at +1900 to hoist the Lombardi Trophy next winter in Super Bowl 58.

Last month, the Lions sold out of their season tickets for the first time in franchise history.
