00:00Lions and Vikings, total of 49 and a half in this game. Detroit played fantastic last week.

00:09Minnesota's been one of the best teams in the NFL thus far. They're two and a half point favorites this week.

00:13This has potential, I think, to be a fun game on Sunday.

00:16This is a great early season matchup. Divisional opponents, both terrific football teams.

00:23The Lions have remembered that they're the Lions, and that's the positive sign for Detroit fans.

00:29They played exceedingly well over the weekend.

00:32And I kind of think that at some point Sam Darnold's going to remember he's Sam Darnold.

00:37I have to look at it that way. I respect his grind, the fact that he's made himself back into an NFL quarterback.

00:44I thought he was going to be terrific in the NFL.

00:47Maybe he's remembered he's that Sam Darnold, the SC Sam Darnold. We'll see.

00:52For now, I believe in the Lions here.

00:56I like the fact that the number's not huge, that it says that when they're going on the road, that Vegas believes in them.

01:07So it's not that far a stretch to see them winning outright, even beyond beating the number.
