Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Detroit Lions fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
In this week’s SB Nation Reacts survey, we asked Lions fans just one question: Are you confident the Lions are headed in the right direction? (weekly poll)
In the original survey article, we laid out how the confidence survey had fluctuated throughout the season, mainly only dipping significantly following a loss. If you missed it, here’s a refresher:
And now, coming off a (revenge?) win over the 49ers and bringing their win total to 14 on the season, Lions fans have spoken and there seems to be a bit of nerves moving through the fan base, as confidence has dipped to 91% — which is still solid overall.
Fortunately, the national audience remains firmly behind Detroit. SB Nation also ran a national survey asking who would cover the Lions -2.5 spread over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18, set by the folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook, and the national audience continues to side with Detroit, with 60% of national fans believing the Lions win and cover.
And in case you need a bit more Kool-Aid, 21% of the National fans polled believe the Lions will still win the Super Bowl, the second-highest percentage behind the defending Champions.
