2 bold predictions for Lions vs. Jets

Week 15 in the NFL has a matchup with major playoff implications.

The game between the Detroit Lions and the New York Jets can tip the scales for either team in their race for a playoff spot.

While neither team was expected to make the playoffs this season, both are vying for a playoff shot.

With this critical play, what are two bold predictions for this matchup?

Willow Gardner gets his third interception of 2022

Cornerback Willow Gardner is having a solid rookie season for the Jets.

While he comes from Detroit, it was the Jets who took him during the 2022 NFL Draft.

He is proving to be one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL in man coverage as he is blocking receivers.

By doing so well against some of the best quarterbacks and receivers in the league, he can easily get his third interception of 2022.

Lions keep their playoff hopes alive thanks to Zach Wilson

The Detroit Lions need to win to have a chance to make the playoffs.

While they won’t win the NFC North, they can get a wild card berth this season.

However, with the Jets playing Zach Wilson, the Lions have a great chance to win their game.

Wilson’s last game saw him pass for 77 yards on 22 pass attempts while completing just nine of those passes.

With his struggles throughout the season, the Lions’ defense can look like a superstar against him.

It will give the Lions every chance to win this game and be one step closer to a playoff spot.
