00:00If we are looking at the odds to win the NFC Championship this year, it's not a surprise.

00:08It's the San Francisco 49ers at a plus 260 price at the FanDuel Sportsbook followed by

00:13the Lions at a 5 to 1 price and the Eagles at a 6 to 1 number.

00:17Let's just sit it there.

00:18The 49ers number one.

00:19I think we agree pound for pound, they're the best team in the NFC.

00:23But how about two and three, the Lions and the Eagles?

00:26Do you agree?

00:27Do you think the Lions now sit ahead of the Eagles at the FanDuel Sportsbook with the

00:31odds?

00:32Yeah, I do.

00:33And, you know, based off the way last season finished out, there's a lot of bettors buying

00:37in on Detroit.

00:38It's Dan Campbell.

00:39I feel like they're the buzz team.

00:40Jared Goff, he's putting up career numbers.

00:42They've got one of the best wide receivers in the business and Amon Ra, St. Brown.

00:47So I like the look of the Detroit Lions.

00:49Can they, you know, take another step forward?

00:51I don't know.

00:52I would make the argument that maybe we saw the top expectations from the Lions last year

00:57at five to one.

00:58For the Philadelphia Eagles, there's been a lot of pressure going through the offseason.

01:02There's new faces in new places.

01:04For Nick Sirianni, he's going to have to try and figure things out.

01:06There's been a lot of smoke that maybe there was a rift in the locker room between him

01:10and star quarterback Jalen Hurts.

01:12I'm not buying in on that side of things.

01:14I think that could be the value spot on this side of the board.

01:17Jalen Hurts, I think, is a fantastic quarterback.

01:20I think now that he's back, he's healthy.

01:22I think we see the return of the run game.

01:24Speaking of run game, Saquon Barkley comes across to lead the backfield.

01:28They've got the best one-two punch, if you look at any of the wide receivers' tandems

01:32in the National Football League.

01:34It's got to be the Philadelphia Eagles.

01:36So sitting there at plus 600, I think that's a really good spot.

01:40For the 49ers and the Lions up top, Donnie, I don't know if we see a massive step forward.

01:45I think we've seen the best there last season, and they're going to have a really tough time

01:49of trying to run it back.

01:50So if you're looking at where the value is on this board, I'd start with the Eagles at

01:53the plus 600, and I'd look towards their foes they're going to match up with on Friday

01:57night in Brazil.

01:58I absolutely love Jordan Love and the Packers, one of the youngest teams coming into the

02:02league.

02:03I do think we see a bit more improvement coming back from them.
