Detroit Lions fan gets 2024 Super Bowl champs tattoo
It’s Super Bowl or bust for the Detroit Lions this year … er … at least for one fan of the team. One individual has so much confidence that he got a tattoo to prematurely celebrate the accomplishment.
A photo recently surfaced of a Lions fan who got inked up ahead of the 2023 season with some interesting art. The design is an image of the Lombardi Trophy with the Detroit logo. It also reads, “Super Bowl Champs 2024.”
Is this NFL fan really that confident in Detroit’s Super Bowl chances this season? Does he just want his 15 minutes of internet fame? Perhaps both?
Making a Super Bowl prediction for your team is one thing. Even placing a wager on your favorite franchise — no matter how bad — to win a title is acceptable. Getting a tattoo to predict a championship for a team that has never appeared in a Super Bowl?
Bold.
The Lions are coming off a decent season in 2022, posting a 9-8 record and narrowly missing out on a playoff berth. So, there’s a good chance Detroit can at least reach the postseason this year. But winning the Super Bowl? That’s a pretty big leap.
For this fan’s sake, we hope Detroit is at least in the conversation at the end of the season. But even then, if the Lions don’t win it all this year, it’s going to be a pretty embarrassing tattoo.
Detroit Lions odds to win Super Bowl LVIII
From an odds standpoint, Detroit might be entering the 2023 season with the best chance to win a championship in a long time. The Lions have the ninth-best odds in the NFL to hoist the Lombardi Trophy.
It’s not exactly a betting favorite, but it’s at least in the top one-third of the league.
Detroit comes in at +2200 to win Super Bowl LVIII. Maybe that’s why one fan felt confident enough to head to the tattoo shop for the fresh ink.
Here’s a look at the teams with the 10-best odds to win the Super Bowl, per BetMGM:
Kansas City Chiefs: +600Philadelphia Eagles: +800Buffalo Bills: +1000San Francisco 49ers: +1000Cincinnati Bengals: +1100Dallas Cowboys: +1500New York Jets: +1800Baltimore Ravens: +2000Detroit Lions: +2200Los Angeles Chargers: +2500Miami Dolphins: +2500
Odds are far from a guarantee, obviously. But, hey, at least the Lions are in the conversation to start the season, right?
