00:00The Motor City, could everything in the NFC go through Detroit before we wind up in the

00:08Super Bowl in New Orleans?

00:10Because if we are looking dovesy at the FanBlue Sportsbook right now, it's the Detroit Lions

00:14at a plus 160 price to win the NFC, followed by the Philadelphia Eagles, the Green Bay

00:20Packers, the Minnesota Vikings, and the 49ers.

00:23The Lions starting to strengthen their grip on the odds market over the Philadelphia Eagles.

00:28I think the Lions are the best team in the NFC.

00:31I've thought that for a few weeks and I've bet them multiple times now.

00:34That number is dropping every week.

00:36Why?

00:37Because of close to 50 point wins that they're putting up over football teams.

00:40The Lions dovesy in that one spot.

00:43You agree with the odds market?

00:44Absolutely.

00:45If you look at the odds market, it's not just a matter of being up top of the NFC, but up

00:50top of the Super Bowl odds as well.

00:52So plus 160, they're playing some really good football.

00:55They've now won eight on the bounce.

00:57You've got Jared Goff arguably having career best season in.

01:02That's the highlight, Donnie.

01:03I mean, to go through the Detroit Lions, you're probably going to have to put up 35 points.

01:08Maybe you've got to put up a 52 piece, which is what we saw last week, and going against

01:12the Jags.

01:13So they're playing some really good football.

01:14I think there are a lot of lessons learned at the back end of last season.

01:18We thought maybe they overachieved, but they've squashed that coming back in for a new year.

01:24They're playing with a lot of confidence, and it just looks like a locker room and a

01:27head coach that you'd want to play for.

01:30Everyone's on the same page.

01:31There's no egos.

01:32You know, Jared Goff looks like he's just going about business, and that's a quarterback

01:36that you'd want to play alongside with, especially with the efficiency that we've seen.

01:41I know he had those turnovers the week prior there, but when Jared Goff is on and he's

01:46humming, I think he is fantastic, and I guess that's the maturity that we've seen from Jared

01:50Goff over the last couple of seasons.

01:53He didn't let that, you know, stir him sideways.

01:56He just got back in the game, he got them to dub over the Texans, and then came back

02:01against the Jags and absolutely blitzed them.

02:03So a team with a very strong one-two punch with the run game and some of the other dynamic

02:08weapons they've got, I absolutely agree.

02:10Detroit Lions should be up top of the odds market, and I think they're just warming up, Donny.

02:15They're going to be a very tough out on Sundays.
