Who should Lions want to play in NFL playoffs 2025? Ranking 4 potential opponents
Detroit Lions could play the Rams, Vikings, Commanders or Packers at Ford Field in NFL playoffs divisional round. Here's how we rank them.
The Lions will take Wednesday off, practice Thursday, then take the weekend off before returning to prepare for the first playoff game next week.
Home games against the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburg Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers highlight the Lions' 2025 schedule. In addition to hosting NFC North rivals Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings, the Lions will welcome in the Cowboys, Buccaneers (NFC South champions), Steelers, New York Giants and Cleveland Browns.
The Lions and Chiefs are in a tier of their own odds-wise, thanks to their 15-win seasons and accordant first-round byes. But both have nagging concerns that, if you squint hard enough, begin to look a lot like vulnerabilities. Will any of their potential opponents through the postseason be able to capitalize on those vulnerabilities?
The schedule is brutal and could be among the toughest in NFL history. Nick Sirianni’s team will face the Chiefs, Vikings, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills, and Jim Harbaugh’s Los Angeles Chargers on the road. They’ll host Detroit and Denver while getting a close-up look at Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears.
The Lions officially clinched the NFC North division title for the second-consecutive year and the No. 1 seed with a 31-9 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18. With the win, Detroit can utilize the week off to gain some rest after playing 13 straight weeks due to its bye being in Week 5.
