00:00So, what about the North?

00:06Because I know you and I are both high on the Packers.

00:09Yeah.

00:10Yeah.

00:11And Scott, I told you this when we went over these win totals last month.

00:14It's the same thing I said about the Lions last year.

00:16Get on them early before the hype started.

00:18Well, the Packers have a great draft.

00:19You know, they had a decent, decent free agency.

00:22So their pre-draft overrunner total was nine and a half wins at minus 135.

00:28Well, everybody hit it.

00:29They saw the value in it.

00:31Now it went up a full game, not a half game, it went up a full game to 10 and a half.

00:35It's now plus 130 if you want to take over and minus 180 on the under.

00:40Look, to me, they're not going to have fewer than 10 wins.

00:44It's not going to happen.

00:46In fact, I could see 11 or 12.

00:47I like the fact that they addressed some needs on defense.

00:50They also addressed the left tackle issue.

00:53No question about that with Bakhtiar being released.

00:56So they addressed that.

00:57And when you look at it, they got, looks to be one of the best young quarterbacks in football,

01:01the best pass target group in football.

01:03They're all young and they're going to grow together.

01:05Brian Gunacuse, the GM has done a phenomenal job.

01:07And what can you say?

01:09That's going to be an incredible race between the Lions and the Packers.

01:12And by the way, the Lions are still at 10 and a half.

01:14The Overs minus 110, by the way.

01:17So if you think they'll have 10 wins or less, it's minus 110, but the Over is also minus 110.

01:23So, which, which, it's actually minus 150, it's minus 115.

01:26It's gone up a little bit because clearly they're very good.

01:29And the Lions, I told you before the draft, they have to address hard their problems to cornerback.

01:35They got away with it until the championship game and they addressed it.

01:38They added two corners in the first two rounds, which they had to do.
