00:00Let's focus here on the NFC here at the FanDuel Sportsbook.
00:06Leader in the clubhouse right now on that odds board, it's the Detroit Lions, my favorite
00:10team in the NFC right now, followed by the San Francisco 49ers, which the odds market
00:15just can't quit those guys.
00:16The Eagles at a 6-1 price, the Packers 7-1, the Vikings at plus 9.50.
00:21That rounds out every team at 10-1 or less.
00:24So I always ask this question to start, Dubsy.
00:26The Lions in the leadership spot here at plus 3.20, do you agree with that?
00:31Yeah, absolutely.
00:32Yeah.
00:33I thought they were fantastic last year and they could just show us a bit more improvement.
00:37They're going to be one of the best teams in football and yes, at this point, they absolutely
00:41are.
00:42Just coming up with the one loss.
00:43Jared Koff has been playing some fantastic, efficient football.
00:47They've got the run game with Montgomery and Gibbs to lean on.
00:50They've got one of the best wide receivers in the business, Amal Rah, Same Brown.
00:54You've got Timmy Patrick, who's putting up some decent numbers since coming across.
00:59Obviously Hutchinson, the big fella.
01:00That's a massive loss on the other side of the ball, but they're well coached.
01:04I like their DNA.
01:05They can get it done with the run game, but they can split you downfield and get it vertical
01:09as well.
01:10They can put up points in bunches and it seems to be a team of good locker room guys.
01:16Not such a team of good players, but it really is a good team.
01:19And for me, that spells that they're absolutely well coached.
01:22So at 6-1 for the season, I certainly think this is the team out of the conference to
01:27be back in.
01:28And I think this is a team that wouldn't take a backward step in going against a Baltimore
01:32or Kansas City Chiefs.
01:33I think they can step up and get it done.
01:35They're playing with confidence.
01:36And you look at some of the other teams in the conference here, Donnie, a couple of question
01:41marks.
01:42You highlight the odds makers cannot quit the 49ers.
01:45San Fran, there is the second choice of plus 400 if they can get healthy.
01:49I love your Eagles at 6-1.
01:51I think that's probably the price play for me and the Packers and Vikings just a little
01:56vulnerable.
01:57But Donnie, what are you making the chances here for Detroit?
02:00NFC North, it's certainly stacked.
02:02It's a loaded division, but they've got the quality, right?
02:06It is.
02:07They do have the quality.
02:08They're 6-1.
02:09Austin, you bring up a great point here because so many times we talk about, and if you just
02:10want to date the New England Patriots, didn't it feel like Dubsy for 15 straight years,
02:14they were just the king of their division, which meant they went 5-1 at a minimum every
02:19year, maybe even 6-0.
02:20They always played home games, similar to what you see with the Kansas City Chiefs.
02:23Once you get to the playoffs, home field advantage is massive.
02:26Detroit in that dome, much better than, let's just say, Detroit going outdoors and playing
02:29in some cold weather conditions like in Philadelphia, or let's just say in Green Bay at that point.
02:34But I love everything about them.
02:35It's going to be interesting that we have the trade deadline next week.
02:39Their defense has been playing well, but they lost maybe their best overall player on the
02:42team itself with Aiden Hutchinson.
02:44The guy was an absolute menace this year.
02:46If they go out and make a move for a couple, or maybe just say one legitimate extra pass
02:51thresher, that could go the distance.
02:52But I've been stacking chips right now on the Detroit Lion Doves, $25 here, $50 here,
02:57buying it, but not to win the championship, just in the NFC market, because I really believe
03:02they were the best overall team.
03:04The 49ers, they have so much talent, but can we trust them to be healthy when it matters
03:08at the end of the season?
03:09Christian McCaffrey is trying to come back.
03:11We get that.
03:12And if he's anything near what we've seen over the past two weeks with the 49ers, that
03:14is going to be massive.
03:15They lost Ike.
03:16I'm just not trusting them, where we have so much in the Vandals sportsbook, other sportsbooks
03:21out here, continue to put them up at the top of the leaderboard.
03:24The Packers and the Eagles, I do believe they should be neck and neck.
03:26And yes, the Eagles have a slight advantage now at 6-1, as opposed to a 7-1 price.
03:31But after that, I'm really not buying too many football teams.
03:33The Falcons will probably win the NFC South.
03:36That's fine.
03:37I don't think they're doing any damage.
03:38The Cowboys, come on now, 24-1, not even up to buy into.
03:41Maybe one of the more intriguing teams to me is not the Commanders.
03:44At 12-1, it's the Los Angeles Rams at 32-1, getting healthy at the right time here.
03:51And the fact of the matter is, they can win that division out there, which gives them
03:54an automatic home game in the playoffs.
