00:00Packers lines three and a half on the spread. 51 and a half on the total. You've got the

00:07Lions that sit top when it comes to the NFC, but there's got to be a challenger. Some people

00:11tweeted at me that they think it's going to be the Packers. Others tweeted at me. They

00:14think it's going to be the Eagles. What do you say about this matchup and who can challenge

00:18the Lions and the NFC? Well, this is the first time that I'm hearing and or seeing the line

00:23for that game. Three and a half in favor of the Lions at home. 51 and a half. You said,

00:28you know, I want to lean under. I really want to lean under 51 and a half just because

00:33it is a divisional game. We're late in the season. It is super important. Like the lines

00:38do not have the division locked up. If this were week three, it'd be so difficult to say

00:43like, oh, well, this is a huge divisional game, which it is granted. It's the same thing

00:47as it is in week three, as is now in week 14, as it will be on Thursday. But now we

00:52actually have some like, like we actually know like, okay, if they win or they lose,

00:56then you're not, they're one game behind. And now the Lions still to play the bills

01:00in a couple weeks after the Packers. So like they could be looking at another loss. So

01:04I want to say leaning on the under just because it is such an important divisional game. However,

01:10I think the best spot to go will probably be, it's going to start slow because it has

01:14that tense divisional game and it's not a short week, despite it being on a Thursday

01:18because both these teams play on Thanksgiving. So it is full rest for both teams. So I think

01:22it starts slow. And then we take live overs at like live 40 over 42 live. Instead of needing

01:2951, we can go 42. And if we end with like 45 points, we're still in for like a 20 to

01:3424 kind of game. We still have a good scoring game, but it will still hit under 51 and a

01:38half. Yeah. And it might be an overly obvious statement, but 51 and a half doesn't scare

01:43me as much as anything that comes in between 38 and 42. It's just too close for call for

01:48primetime games sometimes for me. And that's where I'm steering clear, but I do like that

01:52spot. And plus we have seen how intense these divisional matchups can go and how tight it

01:56can be and how teams don't really pick up those extra points until the second half.
