How the NFL divisions stack up this season, with projected record in parentheses:
DETROIT LIONS (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/det/) (6-10)=
Strengths: Discipline should be improved under new coach Rod Marinelli. Mike Martz will bring some creativity to the offense that features RB Kevin Jones (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/6789/) and WR Roy Williams. Shaun Rogers (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/5508/) is a terror at DT.
Weaknesses: Despite a series of high draft picks, the Lions simply haven't progressed in Matt Millen's tenure as president. There still are too many negatives: offensive line, linebackers and secondary.
Player to watch: Williams seems ready to break out and join the elite at the position.
Why they will finish third: Fewer holes than Green Bay.
