00:02 - We're talking about the NFC North today.
00:05 I wanna start, believe it or not,
00:06 I wanna skip the Bears for a second
00:09 and start with the Lions because of their injury today
00:12 to Gardner Johnson.
00:13 And they have said that it's nothing.
00:17 Basically they said that it's not a problem.
00:19 He's gonna be fine.
00:20 And he was carted off the field and I don't believe them.
00:24 - Yeah, here's the thing.
00:29 And he grabbed his knee.
00:30 Yes, it's not a major injury,
00:32 but they don't have a timeline as I understand
00:34 for when he'll start practicing again,
00:35 but they dodged a bullet.
00:37 CJ Gardner Johnson signs a one-year deal for 6.5 million.
00:40 He's got a little bit of upside to it.
00:42 Who probably would have led the NFL
00:44 on interceptions last season
00:45 had he not suffered a very bad chest injury,
00:48 but he was a terrific signing, a bargain signing, by the way.
00:51 He only played safety one year in the NFL,
00:53 played in college.
00:54 So he comes over.
00:55 Now you just talked about that injury,
00:56 but we'll take a deeper look.
00:58 But again, they dodged a bullet.
01:00 They're not gonna have Jameson Williams
01:01 for the first six games due to his gambling suspension,
01:04 who would have started wide receiver.
01:06 He will when he gets back.
01:08 But the big one is you worry about Jameson Williams.
01:10 They're not very deep at receiver to begin with,
01:12 but overall, Pharrell, the Lions are the most talented team
01:17 in that division.
01:18 The hype is on overdrive.
01:19 I talked about this two or three months ago with this team.
01:21 I said, if you're gonna get on them,
01:22 get on them now for futures numbers.
01:25 They're still, Pharrell, by the way,
01:26 they're still in the plus category.
01:28 They're still plus 130 to win the NFC North,
01:30 but it's dwindling.
01:32 It's getting closer to even money.
01:33 So you gotta get on it now.
01:35 And by the way, the over,
01:37 and clearly the Las Vegas housemakers
01:39 think they're gonna win the division.
01:40 The over nine and a half wins is minus 145.
01:43 So they clearly think there'll be at least 10 wins or more.
