00:00But the NFC North odds, I just think it's one of the most interesting things because

00:09you know, Detroit, they sit there, right?

00:11Super Bowl favorites.

00:12Got it.

00:13Cool.

00:14Minus 600 to win their division.

00:15Unbelievable.

00:16You look around.

00:17Birds minus 4,000.

00:18The Chiefs minus 2,200.

00:20They don't even have the Bills numbers up.

00:23The Texans are minus 950 like Donnie Detroit being minus 600 is not a reflection of those

00:29around them.

00:31That's their books going.

00:32Yeah.

00:33We think they're unbelievable.

00:34They are a slip up away from being tied to the top.

00:37And that's why we look at this division.

00:38I keep saying to myself, like, we don't talk enough about the Vikings and the Packers.

00:42Like, hey, how are the Vikings doing this year?

00:44I don't know.

00:45Detroit's in first place.

00:46Who's in second?

00:47Oh, a nine and two football team followed by a three loss football team right behind

00:49them.

00:50So I get a kick out of when I see those numbers at minus 600 where it's not even about injuries.

00:55Their schedule is tough, but also we know the Vikings, Packers and the Bears are going

00:58to be beating on each other the rest of the way.

01:00But minus 600 with a one game lead and so much left to play is insanity.

01:04It's worth taking the 7 to 1 or 16 to 1 flyer on both Minnesota and Green Bay.

01:10Because again, look at Minnesota.

01:11They win over the past four, they're on a four game winning streak.

01:14Justin Jefferson has basically been non-existent over the past couple of weeks, right?

01:19It's been about three games since he has a hundred yard performance.

01:22And Sam Darnold and Jordan Addison are the hottest quarterback wide receiver combo.

01:27So again, that defense, if they could bounce back into form where they were at the start

01:31of the year, where you couldn't run on them, there's no doubt that they can win the division.

01:35And Green Bay, I think they, listen, they're eight and three right now, they're four and

01:39two at home.

01:40Jordan Love, he was hurt for much of the year.

01:42That defense has come around and Josh Jacobs.

01:45What a great addition.

01:46We talk about Derrick Henry's sequel on Barkley, but Josh Jacobs in that rushing attack in

01:51a two game scenario where if the division is on the line.

01:56I got to believe Green Bay can pull it out and I think they can challenge Detroit.

02:00So we'll see.

02:01Yeah, I think it's going to be really fun to watch play out within the NFC North.

02:03I just think that is one of those things where it's why I disagree with Detroit being comfortable

02:10Super Bowl favorites with the gap that they have out there in the market.

02:14Because if the Eagles do not win their division, if the Chiefs do not win their division, it

02:19probably means you had a season changing injury.

02:22If Detroit doesn't win their division, it means they got caught by the Bears once and

02:27the Niners.

02:28And then like the division being on the line in week 18 would not be stunning whatsoever.

02:33And if the Lions end up the fifth seed, I'm not going to be Super Bowl favorites.

02:37And it wouldn't be all that stunning.

02:39So that to me is where I challenge their status in the market.
