00:00All right, Joe. Tonight, Lions and the Niners in Santa Clara. Of course, we know the deal

00:05with the Lions. It doesn't mean anything for them tonight. They have to play Minnesota

00:09next Sunday for the whole ball of wax in the NFC, home field, bye, etc. For the Niners,

00:16it is, let's get out of here as fast as possible. This season has been miserable. Three and

00:22a half is the number for Detroit road favorite. Total is very high, 50 and a half. I have

00:30believed Dan Campbell all week, Joe. I've seen him say several occasions that he does

00:36not care what the situation of this game is. He's playing this game like he plays every

00:41other game. He's going full force. I think he wants to. We've seen him run it up on some

00:47teams this year. I'm not saying he's going to do that tonight, but I think if he had

00:51the opportunity to score 40 points against the Niners in Santa Clara, I think he would

00:56do it. I think he's nuts if he keeps Gibbs in there the entire night, considering he's

01:02already down David Montgomery, but we shall see. But other offensive pieces, Joe, I think

01:08they're going to play for the most part, some significant time. And unless this game gets

01:13ugly, probably play the whole night.

01:16Yeah, it could be. But I could also see this be an absolute snooze fest in this spot. I

01:24might look for Detroit early. They've been one of the most profitable first half teams

01:31all season long. It would not shock me if end in hooker or you're ready for this. Teddy

01:38Bridgewater sees snaps in the second half of this game here. A game like you said, means

01:45absolutely nothing at this point to them. It's really all going to come down to next

01:52week. 14 straight was the number I saw there, Carver. That is how many games in a row at

01:58home in California that the 49ers have beat the Detroit Lions 14 straight over the years.

02:05No kidding. Dan Campbell wants to beat them. But at what cost, Dan, I would look at him

02:11in the first half and I would look to punt on this game in the second half. And it wouldn't

02:16shock me if the under is a clear winner in this one.

02:20I'm with you. I was of the thought that they were going to try to run this thing into the

02:2640s and blow them out. I think first half is the smartest way to do it. As Joe is telling

02:30you here, good angle for you and just get out. You're done with it. Then at that point,

02:35Joe, let me just get out of here. I got the first I, cause I do think they're going to,

02:39at least at the start of the game, they're going to go out and take care of business.

02:43And the under is also juicy for me. I gave you, you had the good number on the night

02:48lions there in San Fran. This is pretty now. Gabe gave me this earlier. I think this is

02:52the same number that he gave me and that's pretty covering against good teams. One and

02:57eight against the spread last nine games against 500 or winning teams, quote unquote.

03:03So never, uh, usually doesn't go very well for him in those spots.
