00:00back over to the lines for just a second here. You already called Williams to be that key

00:07guy who comes in and helps out this team, but we've known the Lions to have a really

00:11good balance attack. St. Brown, a top wide receiver in the league. They've got a number

00:15of weapons. They seem stumped in the first half of this game when it came to attempting

00:19the run game, but then it started to come more to life in the second half. So are there

00:22any adjustments that you would make perspective betting wise when it comes to the Lions and

00:26their schedule moving forward? No, for as for as bad as quote-unquote bad as the Lions

00:32offense was today. I actually love looking at this box score because it gives me like

00:37exactly what I want to see from a betting perspective. Gibbs with 19 carries Montgomery

00:42with 12. LaPorta, St. Brown, Williams, Gibbs, and Montgomery were the only five players

00:49that got targets in this game, right? We're looking at like an offense that's like very

00:53very condensed, which is great to see. We're not looking at this offense that spreads things

00:57around six targets, eight targets, five targets, three, two for LaPorta, St. Brown, Williams,

01:01Gibbs, and Montgomery. That's a very, very condensed offense. That is awesome. That means

01:06we're getting a very high level of consistency from props. We know who's going to be involved.

01:10So when we have everyone healthy and everyone's ready to go for the Lions, I'm going to be

01:14buying into these players. Now, do I expect Montgomery to play the biggest role in the

01:18passing game? No. Do I expect him to only have 32 yards on the ground? No, I expect

01:22him to have more yards on the ground. Do I expect Williams to have 50 plus yards?

01:25No, there are going to be games where Williams ends with like 10 or 12 yards because he doesn't

01:30break off these long passes. The games that he does break off long passes, he'd have 70

01:34or 80 yards, but we know the ball is still going to be going to him. This is his first

01:37game back after suspension and Goff was still looking downfield to him. So I'm encouraged

01:42that the Lions are keeping things so condensed because we know exactly who to target week

01:46in and week out. Yeah, I'm probably one of the few teams out there at the moment that

01:51we could look at the roster and say, okay, we know how to look at this one a little bit

01:54more confidently, at least. I mean, it's great to have a number of targets, but still it

01:58gets a little crazy out there. Lions come out on top, fighting back in that second half,

02:0326 to 23, and honestly, large part there to Bates with some narrow, narrow misses. I mean,

02:08I thought we were going to hear a joint a couple of times, but that was not the case.

02:11It was meant for the Lions to win this one today.
