00:00Yeah, of course we've been talking a lot about how everybody's on the lions, everybody, they're

00:06the favorites, they're the one seed, they've got all the expectations. Dan Campbell doesn't want

00:14to really hear any of that, he's just trying to get through this week. Man, we're the one seed,

00:18so if we, you know, if you guys don't succeed then, you know, like I never think like that,

00:25I don't know, to me, I look at it as like I know who we are, I know what we're about,

00:34I know how we have to prepare, I respect the opponent and now it's time to go to work,

00:41that's how I look at it, I don't look at anything else, I don't think of what if it doesn't,

00:46what if the what if's like, man, I couldn't sleep at night if I lived that way, there's no freaking

00:52way, so no, I don't think of that, we're the one seed, we earned the one seed, we got a good

00:58opponent coming in and we're going to be ready to play, that's how I look at it. That's it and,

01:06you know, they're the best team in the NFC, they're better than the Eagles, they're better

01:10than everybody and they're playing a great young quarterback and can that kid for betters cover

01:17nine and a half and some people think the Lions are going to blow out the commanders, I don't,

01:23I don't think so, I'm out with that kid playing, you can talk all you want about his rookie,

01:28this, that, whatever you want to say, did you see what he did at Raymond James last week,

01:34I mean, Sunday night, this guy is absolutely, he's no more a rookie than I am, I mean,

01:39that guy is a complete baller, that's it, mega talent. He is a mega talent indeed, now,

01:48we know that there's a chance these big numbers can cover this weekend but there's one thing that

01:54they don't do, Scotty, in the divisional round, really in the NFL playoffs, how about this,

01:59big divisional favorites, the Chiefs and the Lions, the last 18 favorites of seven or more points

02:05are 18 and 0 straight up, they've won 18 in a row, the last 18 favorites of seven or more points

02:11in the NFL playoffs, so the big dogs usually have been taking care of business, of course,

02:17the Chiefs and the Lions would fall into that category on Saturday for this week, it is still

02:24eight and a half and that's just winning the game, that's straight up, just winning the game,

02:29so the favorites of seven and a half or more, seven or more, 18 in a row, straight up,

02:36they have not been upset outright in those games, they have not all covered but they've all won

02:42the game, so that's if you're thinking of any big upsets in either of those games,

02:47like a lot of people chirping, you know, Texans, things like that, I wouldn't be thinking that way.
