Copy/Pasta:

As of December 15, 2025, the Detroit Lions (8-6) are on the bubble for the NFL playoffs, sitting as the No. 8 team in the NFC standings—just outside the seven playoff spots. Their playoff chances took a hit after a Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, combined with wins by key contenders like the Seahawks (11-3), 49ers (10-4), and Bears (10-4).


Current playoff probability estimates for the Lions vary slightly by source but generally fall in the 25-44% range:


• NFL Next Gen Stats: ~41-44%


• The Athletic/NY Times simulator: ~25-26%


• ESPN: ~36%


• Other aggregates (e.g., Yahoo, Sporting News): 35-40%


With three games left, the Lions no longer control their own destiny fully and likely need to win out (finishing 11-6) while getting help—such as losses from teams like the Packers (currently ahead via tiebreakers), Bears, or others in wild-card contention. Their remaining schedule includes tough matchups (e.g., Steelers, Vikings, Bears).


These percentages come from simulation models that run thousands of season outcomes based on current records, strength of schedule, and tiebreakers. Odds can shift significantly week-to-week.

They got no chance in hell! Thank you Lions for participating in the 2025 regular season.

Lions are like Bills where both teams have no defense but, unlike the Bills, Lions offense is too weak to overcome their defense.

We at BMR strive for originality here. If you want to cut and paste , there are other forums that tolerate this. I expect more from you. Diggity aka the new Dad, I understand you were deprived a good quality education, you got the best that Modesto had to offer. But we are a great group of posters here and deserve original posting. If you continue to "copy and paste" , you will be reported and the original writer will be notified.

bears vs packers this week so odds are one will lose. that helps the lions assuming they win.
Looking at the schedule, the Lions have a better shot to catch the Bears than they do trying to catch the Packers.

The Bears could lose out... Its not likely but, it is possible. But, even if Bears finish with 11 wins, as long as Detroit wins out and finishes with 11 wins, they would hold tie-breaker over Bears.

I'm not sure how it would work if its a 3-way (CHI, GB, DET).

Again, all these scenarios are long-shots.

Won’t be a 3-way tie since the Packers have a tie
