00:00
All right, Joe. Tonight, Lions and the Niners in Santa Clara. Of course, we know the deal with the
00:05
Lions. It doesn't mean anything for them tonight. They have to play Minnesota next Sunday for the
00:10
whole ball of wax in the NFC, home field, bye, etc. For the Niners, it is, let's get out of here
00:17
as fast as possible. This season has been miserable. Three and a half is the number for Detroit road
00:24
favorite. Total is very high, 50 and a half. I have believed Dan Campbell all week, Joe. I've
00:33
seen him say several occasions that he does not care what the situation of this game is. He's
00:38
playing this game like he plays every other game. He's going full force. I think he wants to.
00:45
We've seen him run it up on some teams this year. I'm not saying he's going to do that tonight,
00:49
but I think if he had the opportunity to score 40 points against the Niners in Santa Clara,
00:55
I think he would do it. I think he's nuts if he keeps Gibbs in there the entire night,
01:00
considering he's already down David Montgomery, but we shall see. But other offensive pieces,
01:06
Joe, I think they're going to play for the most part some significant time.
01:11
And unless this game gets ugly, probably play the whole night.
01:15
Yeah, it could be, but I could also see this be an absolute snooze fest in this spot. I might look
01:24
for Detroit early. They've been one of the most profitable first half teams all season long.
01:33
It would not shock me if end in hooker or you're ready for this. Teddy Bridgewater sees snaps in
01:39
the second half of this game here. A game, like you said, means absolutely nothing at this point
01:48
to them. It's really all going to come down to next week. 14 straight was the number I saw there,
01:54
Carver. That is how many games in a row at home in California that the 49ers have beat the Detroit
02:02
Lions. 14 straight over the years. No kidding, Dan Campbell wants to beat them, but at what cost,
02:08
Dan? I would look at them in the first half and I would look to punt on this game in the
02:14
second half. And it wouldn't shock me if the under is a clear winner in this one.
02:20
I'm with you. I was of the thought that they were going to try to run this thing into the 40s and
02:26
blow them out. I think first half is the smartest way to do it. As Joe is telling you here, good
02:31
angle for you and just get out. You're done with it then at that point, Joe, let me just get out
02:35
of here. I got the first, because I do think they're going to, at least at the start of the
02:39
game, they're going to go out and take care of business. And the under is also juicy for me.
02:45
You had the good number on the Lions there in San Fran. This is Purdy. Now, Gabe gave me this
02:50
earlier. I think this is the same number that he gave me. And that's Purdy covering against good
02:55
teams. One and eight against the spread. Last nine games against 500 winning teams, quote unquote.
03:03
So never, usually doesn't go very well for him in those spots. As far as the player props for
03:08
tonight, like again, Joe, if we think like you just said, getting involved in Lion stuff is going
03:17
to be very dicey for this evening because you don't know how long some of these guys are going
03:23
to play. Here are the most bet ones. This Marendo over under 64 and a half rushing yards for him.
03:30
Williams under three and a half receptions, Purdy over three and a half rushing attempts.
03:35
Now Goff over 250 and a half passing yards. Like that's one, Joe, that I wouldn't want any part of
03:41
if the situation, like you said, happens and the Hendon hooker finds himself into the game.
03:48
Yes. And that is the, that's the thing that you have to guard against. And I know that Brock Purdy
03:54
rushing attempts is, has been popular at over three and a half, but I would even look at his
04:00
rushing yards since the last five quarterbacks to face the Lions, Anthony Richardson, 61 yards,
04:07
Caleb Williams, 39, Jordan Love, 23 yards, Josh Allen, 68, Caleb Williams again for 34.
04:15
You know, this is a banged up defense and Brock Purdy could absolutely be on the move here tonight.
04:20
That might be the easiest prop of the night in this game is over rushing yards.
04:26
I like it, Joe. Uh, let's do it. Here's the tutties quickly for me. Uh, first touchdown St.
04:31
Brown at plus six 50. You know, I don't, I'm not as high on LaPorta and the books know it too.
04:36
They've already dropped to the plus two 50. I like Debo for the Niners at plus one 80.
04:40
Craig Reynolds tonight, Joe, why I just told you Gibbs ain't playing the whole night. I don't
04:45
believe him. And Craig Reynolds will get the rock in the second half. In fact,
04:49
that was six this morning. It's down to four to one.
