Six Free Press sports writers make their picks for the Detroit Lions game on Nov. 2 against the Minnesota Vikings at Ford Field.

The Lions had Kneeland in for a visit ahead of the 2024 draft. Kelvin Sheppard remembered him as a "special kid" and that there was just something they liked about him.

The Detroit Lions have not lost two straight regular-season games in three years, going into Sunday's game on the road against the Jayden Daniels-less Washington Commanders.

The Lions’ secondary was shredded by Daniels and the Commanders during last year’s big game in the Motor City as then-linebackers coach Kelvin Sheppard looked on helplessly. The Lions’ secondary is healthier than it was during last year’s playoff game giving the recently minted Lions defensive coordinator hope for a better outcome.

Detroit Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone does not have an extensive history of racking up NFL fines. Following a road loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the veteran defender was assessed a fine of $12,172 for uneccessary roughness. Detroit's defensive captain made the decision to appeal the fine.

With his tackle attempt on McCarthy, Hutchinson may have a fine coming his way. Normally in the NFL, players are fined up to $17,389 for a first leg whip offense, which can increase to $23,186 upon a second violation during the same season.
