With that in mind, here is today’s question of the day:

Which opponent are you most excited to play next season?

My Answer: Washington

I’m excited for the Lions to play Washington for a few reasons:

1. There’s a level of revenge the Lions could get after getting beaten by them last season
2. They are a non-division opponent that the Lions don’t typical play against
3. I can’t wait to watch Chase Young as a pro (even if it is chasing down Matthew Stafford)
4. It’s a home game
5. The Lions should have a decent shot at beating them

So, what do you think? Which opponent is most intriguing to you and why?

Your turn.
