00:00It doesn't get better than what we are going to see in this conference

00:03Decided by the very final regular season game of this season. That is detroit and minnesota

00:10Joe, I asked you earlier in the show if these teams flip-flop the lions are a two and a half point favorite on sunday night

00:17In game 272

00:18But if the vikings can pull off the upset and they become the one seed in the nfc

00:24And the nfc north champs and the lions are now a wild card team

00:28That would have to play strictly road games in hopes of reaching an nfc championship

00:33Or appearing in the first ever super bowl in franchise history. Would that change your outlook you said?

00:41No, would it change your outlook for minnesota?

00:44If the vikings were the top team and not the top wild card team as the five seed

00:50Yeah, I think the vikings at home are

00:54Interesting if they have uh, if they have that I also think uh, the buy comes into play here for some of these teams

01:00uh, the lions and the vikings

01:03uh, which team gets a week off to rest which team has got to go to the grind, but

01:08Uh, which is what makes that whole five six and seven seed and how that finishes?

01:15Extremely interesting. So we all know it's going to be the lions of the vikings in that fifth seed, right?

01:20So in all likelihood, it's going to be uh, the bucks or the rams playing that team if it's the lions or if it's the vikings

01:28I I don't think it changes very uh very much there

01:32I think the the eagles the two and three seed however, that may uh, however that may end up I think that is where

01:40Some of the value or the upsets could come into play here because I don't see the lions or quite honestly even the vikings

01:48Being an underdog in the first round if they have to play if the vikings finish in the fifth seed

01:54No way, are they going to be an underdog?

01:56Uh having to travel on the road to take on tampa or the rams don't see it

02:00I think both the lions and the vikings will have favorable odds in their favor moving forward

02:07It is a really

02:09Compelling point joe because I would agree

02:11For most of this season it seemed like whatever top wild card team out of the nfc north finished in the five spot

02:17They would be a road favorite even in that opening round

02:21But there's a lot still to be determined within the nfc playoff picture

02:25Here are our certainties philadelphia is the two seed in the nfc the winner of detroit

02:31Minnesota on sunday night will be the one seed the loser will be in the five spot

02:37Washington in pole position to be the sixth seed

02:40But how much do they want to play on sunday?

02:44They are a three and a half point favorite on the road in dallas that number working up from a flat field goal

02:50I bet it yesterday

02:51I should know if washington wins at the star

02:55They're the sixth seed if the commanders lose in the packers who are nearly a double digit favorite against the lifeless bears

03:02At home in lambo on sunday win

03:05Green bay is the sixth seed. I think that is very compelling. Why?

03:10Because whether it's the rams or the buccaneers and we'll talk about the three four split in a second

03:14I think you would rather be the sixth seed take it on the three seed

03:18Than be the seventh seed to have to visit philadelphia on the road at the length to start your playoff run

03:25I agree, not a great, uh matchup in any way shape or form, but I also don't think uh,

03:31Washington is going to roll it in, uh there at all

03:34Uh, you know former defensive coordinator there for dallas

03:38I doubt very much. He's going to want to go back there and lose and

03:42No cd lamb. We saw what that there's no bite left in that dallas offense

03:47I think the commanders go out handle business lock up that number six seed and the packers well

03:54Packers are going to be interesting because it could very well be uh, two outdoor teams

04:00Uh going, uh to philadelphia to battle it out. I think that might be the interesting one to start

04:07Uh, could the eagles throw up all over themselves at home in the playoffs?

04:12Been known to happen
