Here we go, the game of the night here on SportsGrid, FST, all of it.
00:05
For me, it's the Commanders and Lions.
00:07
Now, for those of you who have been watching since the beginning of the season,
00:11
I was the crazy one that had Washington going to the Super Bowl.
00:17
Yep, that was me.
00:18
So I was laughed at.
00:20
I was childed, said it's never going to happen.
00:24
But meanwhile, Washington is two wins away from making that happen.
00:28
Now, I was not crazy enough to think that Washington could beat Buffalo or the Ravens
00:31
or any team like that.
00:33
But I'm going to stick with my guns, as they say.
00:38
And I'm going to take these nine and a half points.
00:42
I believe, without a shadow of a doubt, this game is going to be close.
00:46
I mean, Washington has played the most close games in the NFL this season.
00:50
Why would this be any different?
00:52
Why?
00:54
I mean, everyone's so impressed with Detroit after they win over Minnesota.
00:57
How did Minnesota look this past week?
00:59
I think the Commanders have a great shot to win this game and pull off the big upset.
01:04
And I would be a little worried about them playing Philly, because Philly's defense is
01:08
so good.
01:08
But I will say this, George, Washington's going to score points today.
01:13
And I think this is going to be a great game.
01:16
I think this has a chance to be the best game of the weekend.
01:19
The Lions' defense is just really banged up.
01:22
And they had a hard time stopping anybody toward the end of the season.
01:26
I think that plays itself out today.
01:28
Give me the Commanders.
01:29
Give me the points.
01:31
Plus 350, 400 on the money line, too.
01:34
I'm all in on Washington.
01:38
Boy, I thought Matthew Berry was a big Washington Commanders fan.
01:41
It's Craig Misch.
01:43
And we start calling this show, by the way, forget family sports, this is the Craig Misch
01:47
toots his own horn show.
01:48
That being said, he's not lying.
01:50
He's been on Washington all season long.
01:53
I've had to hear it all season long, and he's been right.
01:56
Which probably hurts because he's right.
01:57
It also hurts because I'm a Cowboy fan.
01:59
I don't want to hear it anymore.
02:00
All right.
02:00
But I disagree about the game.
02:03
I think Detroit takes care of business.
02:04
I think they're all points coming tonight.
02:06
I think we do get our over.
02:07
I think you've seen this before with wildcard teams throughout years.
02:11
Teams that come out of nowhere.
02:12
Yeah, they win the wildcard round, and the divisional round, they get their doors blown
02:15
off.
02:16
All right.
02:16
So sort of that here.
02:18
That being said, I don't think they get crushed.
02:20
But 38-23, 41-24 gives me my over.
02:25
It gives me all the touchdowns I want.
02:26
And I want lots of touchdowns tonight, because I think tonight's a heavy prop night.
02:30
All right.
02:30
So I'm on Detroit to cover here.
02:32
I'm on the over.
02:33
I'm on every prop imaginable here.
02:35
If you're going for an anytime scorer, by the way, this is nuts.
02:39
Everybody on Detroit is minus money.
02:41
It's crazy.
02:43
You either got to go first touchdown scorer, or you got to parlay them.
02:47
Gibbs, minus 220.
02:49
Montgomery, 160.
02:50
St. Brown, 135.
02:52
The best time you're getting here is Jameson Williams, which, by the way, I'm on.
02:55
He's the only plus guy, plus 130.
02:57
I'll take that, that he gets in the end zone here.
02:59
But like I said, I think there's seven to eight touchdowns coming tonight.
03:02
I love this game.
03:03
This will be a lot of fun tonight.
03:04
It's going to be an old-fashioned game.
03:06
Throw the football.
03:06
Let's see what happens here.
03:08
I don't know if either team can really stop the other.
03:10
I do think Detroit will get more starts than Washington.
03:12
One thing that concerns me, Craig, is both these coaches are loco, right?
03:16
They're nuts.
03:17
If I get screwed out of my over, going for a fourth and eight at the 22-yard line over
03:23
and over again, I'm losing my three points.
03:24
I'm going to be angry tonight.
03:26
I'm going to be angry.
03:26
You're going to hear about it on Twitter.
03:28
But other than that, it should be a fun game.
03:30
Washington's been going for it every fourth down and not getting it, and getting near
03:34
the goal line and not scoring.
03:36
They've had a lot of problems in the red zone, because Robinson just doesn't look like the
03:40
guy now that he was at the beginning of the season.
03:42
I mean, I think that that's fair.
03:44
But I don't know.
03:45
It seems like a storybook kind of year for them.
03:47
But maybe, look, maybe it comes to an end.
03:49
But I think they got another one in them, as Vince Carter once said.
