00:00How high is the ceiling for the Packers and we'll start with the NFC.

00:07It sounds like you are bullish on their chances to make a bit of a run through the playoffs.

00:11They currently sit at 11 and 4 NFC title plus 650 odds and then to go all the way and take

00:18out the big dance, the Lombardi at 13 to 1.

00:22So let's start with the top of the board.

00:24How far can they go?

00:25Could they surpass the Lions, the Eagles if they can get them in the playoff dance?

00:30Yeah, well, pretty good.

00:33I mean, I still think the plus 650 has has pretty good value here.

00:38And why not at plus 1300 for the Super Bowl?

00:42I think if you are looking for somebody outside of the chalk, meaning somebody outside of

00:49the Eagles, even though what a unbelievable meltdown that was against the commanders

00:55this weekend or Detroit, I got to tell you, I can tell you this, I don't know if it's

01:02a prop, but the idea that whoever is going to be representing the NFC is probably coming

01:07from the NFC North.

01:09I mean, look at the records of the three top teams in that division.

01:13They are the three best teams in the NFC right now outside of Philadelphia.

01:18You got the Packers.

01:19You have, I mean, who had the Minnesota Vikings at what, 13 wins, Detroit right there, Green

01:27Bay.

01:28You know, these three teams know each other.

01:30It's going to come down to which one of those three can stay healthy enough to make a run.

01:36And I got news for you.

01:37I think this Packers-Minnesota game coming up this week is going to be a pretty good

01:42indication, a pretty good litmus test out of which one of those two teams got a real

01:48shot at making a run at this, especially since the Packers lost at home already this year

01:53to Minnesota.

01:55Now they have to go to their place to take them on this week.

01:58I think that's a huge game.

02:01And I think the Packers are not a team, and I can't believe what I'm saying is I actually

02:05do trust Jordan Love, Matt LaFleur, and that defense to be able to go into Minnesota and

02:10win that game.

02:12But the winner is coming from the NFC North.

02:14I can't believe what I'm saying.

02:15I don't even think it's close here, Dubs.

02:17I don't know.

02:18You give Philadelphia a crack, but I think the winner is coming from the North.

02:23One of those three teams is representing the NFC in the Super Bowl.
