5 legitimate playoff sleepers for the 2020 NFL season (2. Detroit Lions (Odds to make playoffs: +250) - All of the underlying metrics suggest the Lions were a better team in 2019 than their record implies — they just had rotten luck in what FiveThirtyEight would consider “coin flip games,” finishing 1-5-1. On top of that, they lost Matthew Stafford, who was on pace for a career year under first-year offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, for about half the season. The big question is whether or not the defense will take off in Matt Patricia’s third year. The problem through his first two years has been the pass rush, and there isn’t an obvious reason to think it’s been improved over the offseason. Detroit drafted Julian Okwara out of Notre Dame but made no other significant additions to the edge rusher group. Maybe bringing in Jamie Collins and Danny Shelton will help Patricia design more effective pressures. If not, it will be another long season for Detroit’s cornerbacks, who are asked to play a ton of man coverage. The secondary lost its best player in Darius Slay but replaced him with the draft’s best corner in Jeff Okudah and then signed veterans Desmond Trufant and Duron Harmon. Throw in slot stud Justin Coleman and the Lions should have a good, smart secondary. So what’s preventing me from taking the plunge on the Lions as a viable playoff sleeper? That schedule. The NFC North is solid across the board and playing both South divisions will make Detroit’s slate even tougher. There are a lot of good QBs on the docket.): https://ftw.usatoday.com/2020/06/5-playoff-sleepers-2020-nfl-season-raiders-falcons-cardinals-dolphins-lions
