ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions have one shot at another No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft. That’s it. One permutation of events happening on Sunday to get them once again picking third this spring.
For the Lions to be sitting at No. 3 by Monday morning, six things have to happen. First, without question the Lions must lose to Minnesota.
Then Detroit also needs Atlanta to beat Tampa Bay, the Giants to beat Dallas, Cincinnati to beat Baltimore, Houston to beat Tennessee and Philadelphia to beat Washington on Sunday night.
The FPI has the possibility of that happening at 0.5%. As in less than 1%.
