NFC Championship odds the RS entering 2024 the team that came up short in
00:05
overtime who had made the NFC Championship game four of the previous
00:10
five seasons the San Francisco 49ers were a short favorite you see it there
00:14
nearly half the price of everybody else in the conference the Lions had a five
00:19
to one number the Eagles at six to one the Packers and the Cowboys at nine to
00:24
one and I will continue to say as I do each and every preseason I wouldn't take
00:29
Donnie's money or my worst enemies money and put it on the Dallas Cowboys
00:34
to win in NFC Championship before a season starts ever but that's not the
00:39
focus on Dallas it's on Detroit who entered the postseason the short
00:44
favorites to win an NFC Championship who as the number one seed entered the
00:48
division around in even money favorite plus 100 to win the NFC title in play
00:54
for the first time ever in a Super Bowl so buy or sell on the Lions outlook
01:00
moving forward Detroit will open next season as the NFC favorites caveat do
01:07
the Eagles win this week if they do and go to the Super Bowl I think the Eagles
01:11
will be the favorites in the NFC next year so sort of sell that notion but
01:15
also understand this we're not just looking at teams of like how good they
01:19
are entering in changes will be made in the offseason coaches will be leaving
01:23
like you're already seeing in Detroit and possibly an offensive coordinator
01:25
in Philadelphia but also understand this you look at the NFC North and you say
01:30
okay top-level team Detroit very good football team Packers very good football
01:34
team as you anticipate Minnesota whether or not their quarterback is going to be
01:37
Donald or JJ McCarthy but also the Chicago Bears getting Ben Johnson
01:41
that's a team that looks like can be competitive and it's not a rollover we
01:45
get two free wins on the schedule look at the Philadelphia Eagles next year now
01:48
the Dallas Cowboys if they're healthy back press got formidable opponent we're
01:52
not gonna argue that Washington can also they fall back in a sophomore stop
01:55
we're not expecting that let's say they have a great young quarterback and a
01:58
team that's gonna make even more improvements but you still do have the
02:00
New York Giants who next year I don't think they have high expectations that
02:04
they're gonna have it you know what they're gonna battle be a really good
02:06
football team there's only one way to go is up who's I look at it just the
02:10
notion of we see it with Ohio State winning a championship we don't know
02:13
who their quarterback is yes they're gonna be national champions it's almost
02:16
the sign of the respect that comes in right away and then the offseason
02:20
come in and maybe some of those numbers move if the Eagles win this week I
02:23
believe they will be favored to win the NFC next year just out of respect and
02:27
we'll go from there that's my answer on this so Detroit I'll sell that because I
02:31
think the Eagles are winning and I think the Eagles will be favored next year
02:34
come let's just say the offseason per se
