After coming up just short last season, the Detroit Lions are back—and this time, it’s not just about making the playoffs. It’s about winning it all. We’re talking confetti, Gatorade showers, and Dan Campbell hoisting the Lombardi. This team is built, the city is ready, and if you ask me, it’s happening. Super Bowl. This year. Book it.
