00:00The Lions visiting the 49ers, we will of course have this game here on Pro Football today,

00:09the pregame show.

00:10Myself, Dave Sharapan, Adam Kaufman, we'll be back on Monday at 7 p.m. Eastern previewing

00:15this game.

00:16The Lions are three and a half point favorites, it is a 50 and a half over under, very healthy

00:21over under.

00:23The 49ers are officially eliminated from the playoffs, we know that.

00:27An injury-filled season got worse as the year went on, and they are done.

00:33I love the Lions in this matchup, I love them at minus three and a half, and as I mentioned

00:38earlier, I will be taking the Lions on the old spread at minus six and a half, and I

00:43may even jump it up to a smaller, you know, quarter unit play on the Lions minus nine

00:49and a half up at plus 235 that I'm seeing on the Faneuil Sportsbook right now.

00:54I think that the Lions want to come out and make a statement about this game after the

01:00results that we saw in the NFC Championship game last year.

01:04We saw this play out earlier in the season when the Lions went down to Dallas and absolutely

01:10smoked the Cowboys, running that score up, because if we remember back to last season,

01:16there was that controversy when they had the sixth offensive lineman report as eligible,

01:21he didn't report as eligible, the refs didn't see that he reported as eligible, whatever

01:24it was, and the Lions went down there and made a statement, and they ran up the score,

01:29and it was all Lions in that game, scoring 40-whatever points.

01:32I'm not going to say we're going to see the exact same thing play out, but I do think

01:36the Lions want to come in here and have this feel-good game against the team that prevented

01:41them from getting to the Super Bowl last year, so minus three and a half, yes.

01:46Lions' money line, it's sitting at minus, what is it, minus 185 here, minus 178.

01:52I'm not playing the money line, let's just call it what it is.

01:53If I think they're going to win by minus six and a half, I'm just not going to play the

01:56money line, we can look elsewhere for value.

01:58I think the Lions come out and make a statement.

02:00So minus three and a half, minus six and a half, and I'm going to put a small quarter

02:04unit on minus nine and a half as well.

02:08Them winning by 10 points, I don't think that would shock anyone, right?

02:12If they won this game 30-34 or 31-20, would that shock anyone?

02:18The Lions are a Super Bowl favorite coming into this, and the 49ers have been eliminated

02:22from the playoffs.

02:24Them winning this game 31-20, I don't think it would be a shock to anyone.

02:28So I want to try and capture that, again, building in some of this motivation that the

02:31Lions have coming off of the heels of last season where they were stopped at getting

02:35to the Super Bowl.

02:36So that's where I'll look.

02:37Touchdown score, odds that we're seeing right now are what you would assume with Gibbs all

02:41the way up there, minus 250, because Dave Montgomery is out, it's not done technically

02:45for the season, but he is out as of now, St. Brown sitting at minus 110.

02:51I don't mind going to a San LaPorta at plus 190.

02:54I'm not going to say I want to go as far as Tim Patrick at plus 300, but San LaPorta at

02:58plus 190 feels right.

03:00I certainly don't want to be going to St. Brown or Gibbs.

03:03Let's just check on receiving props over here, over on DK, see if they have anything listed

03:07different.

03:08They do have some receiving yards.

03:09St. Brown is up at 70, as you assume, Jameson Williams, 53 and a half.

03:13Give Gibbs though, the Gibbs 27 and a half over on receiving yards for Jameer Gibbs is

03:19looking interesting.

03:20It is still a little bit at minus 120, so that's my initial lean as of now.

03:24Probably not looking at too many touchdown score and props, and it's just because Gibbs

03:28getting there at minus 280 or minus whatever it is, is not something I have a whole lot

03:32of interest in.

03:33LaPorta would be that first play at plus 190 or so.

03:37Gibbs coming out of the backfield seeing, again, he's got to see a minimum of 20 total

03:42touches between the rushing game and the receiving game with Montgomery outs.

03:45I want to build that in somehow.
