00:00I think it's important, especially through some of the games we've gone through in our

00:06opening hour here, to take a look at the conference as a whole.

00:10The Detroit Lions have positioned themselves as the favorites.

00:13They've made that move and they were preseason not far behind.

00:17They were the second choice there, but we knew the Niners had this gap.

00:21The Niners, due to the fact that they were able to beat Dallas, have held as that second

00:26choice, even if I still disagree with it, but they opened the year as the favorite.

00:30So there has been move against San Francisco.

00:33A lot of the preseason teams that you were expecting to be there are still there.

00:39The Cowboys dropping back a bit.

00:42The Vikings have crashed the party and the huge mover is the Washington Commanders.

00:47A preseason 50 to 1 number has found itself trickling all the way down to a 12 to 1 price.

00:54When you look at the landscape of the NFC, Lacey, what is jumping out to you?

00:58I don't know if I can comment.

01:02The Eagles at six.

01:08This is not a knock.

01:09I told you that last week...

01:11I knew that win was dangerous.

01:14You asked, last week would have been the determining factor for me, not from an offensive perspective.

01:20We knew Jalen Hurts and that offense was starting to find continuity.

01:24It was the defense.

01:25I needed them to shut down an elite, high-powered offense.

01:28Even though Tee Higgins wasn't there, that was an MVP caliber quarterback in Joe Burrow

01:33and they did it again with Vic Fangio, 17 points.

01:37They're starting to come into form.

01:39That's exactly what I wanted to see, Saquon running the football consistently.

01:43Again, at six to one, Kev, this is still, in my opinion, one of the top three teams

01:48in the NFC.

01:49I think they can win it and it all depends on that defense.

01:52If they can play the way they have the rest of the regular season, they're going to be

01:57there.

01:58That's no joke.

01:59I like Green Bay too, though, at seven to one.

02:01There's three teams for me that, and again, these change, right?

02:04Next week you can see something different, injuries are going to change.

02:06Don, give me three teams right now in the NFC you actually believe can get to the Super

02:09Bowl.

02:10Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles, and the Green Bay Packers.

02:12I leave the San Francisco 49ers out because, I don't know on the horizon, does McCaffrey

02:15come back and he's the MVP, the best player in football?

02:18Somehow, miraculously, Ricky Pearsall as a rookie shows up as that top end, number three

02:22wide receiver, and they go out in the open market this week and say, you know what?

02:25Trade deadline's coming up.

02:26Let's get another receiver in here to give up on IU.

02:28I don't know that yet, but I'm just looking right now.

02:30The Washington Commanders sit there at ten to one right now.

02:33You beat the Giants today, and you see what their record looks like.

02:36Oh, they beat the Giants.

02:37No, no.

02:38This is a rookie quarterback going on the road after an emotional win, and you're telling

02:41me he's going to be good today and wins?

02:43That would show me a ton, Joe, for the Commanders.

02:45It would.

02:46I just want to throw out two lottery tickets, and I know they're long shots, but I bring

02:49it up because the division is deadlocked.

02:52The NFC West, if you're not buying into the San Francisco 49ers, the value of L.A. and

02:57Arizona at 32 to one, I mean, we talk about Gannon being a coach that covers numbers.

03:02Now they're starting to win games.

03:04They grind out two wins against Miami, and the Chargers, respectively, love them or hate

03:09them, but Kyler Murray is starting to come into his own.

03:12Marvin Harrison with a big day, and that defense is bend but don't break, and again, I think

03:17the Rams are in that area as well, 32 to one.

03:20You're not going to get better value midpoint of the season.
