We continue our preview with some best bets for Thursday night football in the Motor City.
00:08
It's the Lions and the Packers in a monumental divisional duel within the NFC North.
00:14
Not just the division, but it's ramifications for the conference as a whole.
00:19
Let's start with the game.
00:20
DRS Detroit favored by three and a half points.
00:23
Total stands at 51 and a half.
00:26
We are expecting a great football game.
00:29
It is not a short week for either, both playing on Thanksgiving.
00:34
Do you believe that based on the numbers, a close, competitive, and high-scoring affair
00:39
will be what we actually see tonight in Detroit?
00:42
I do.
00:43
I really do.
00:44
Because when you look at, well, 51 and a half is a decent number in the NFL.
00:47
It's a divisional game.
00:48
Sometimes you downgrade those total environments, but also we have to look at the optimistic
00:52
sides of why you can get this.
00:54
You have firepower on both sides, two electric quarterbacks, two great running teams on each
00:59
side.
01:00
One, as you said, that does it, which is Jacobs on one side.
01:02
Then the other side, you have the double-headers out there with Gibbs and also Montgomery.
01:07
And you have the environment, which is going to be in a dome, not windy and rainy.
01:10
If Detroit wasn't a dome stadium tonight in Detroit, who knows?
01:13
Freezing cold temperatures, wind coming in, maybe some precipitation in the forecast.
01:17
It's a perfect track here where the two teams are rested.
01:19
They know each other, and they also know what's at stake.
01:22
And keep in mind, Dan Campbell, fourth and one, fourth and twos, we're going for it,
01:26
which as we always say, is the best thing for your totals.
01:28
You're at the 50-yard line at fourth and three, they go for it.
01:31
You win either way.
01:32
They get the first down.
01:33
Austin, they don't get the first down.
01:34
It goes the opposite direction.
01:36
So I like the aggressiveness out of these football teams.
01:38
I don't think either one, Ben, is going to be timid tonight with how big the stakes are.
01:43
All the players we need are out there to get points here, particularly Jamison Williams,
01:46
who missed that last game.
01:47
Back in this game, top corner back down.
01:49
It's a dome.
01:50
We should get some points tonight.
01:51
I'm excited for it.
