Lions, Sunday, Ford Field, favorites. Sixty years of "this is our year" and a stadium tax. Detroit fans aren't optimistic, they're conditioned. Pavlov had a dog. Detroit has a season ticket.

Bills-Lions tonight in a brand-new stadium. Two fan bases, one Super Bowl between them combined, and it's the Lions', from a movie they're still writing. The winner of tonight gets to be the favorite until January, when it doesn't matter.
