00:02 - Start with the NFC North where Joe Ranieri,

00:06 the Detroit Lions are the favorites plus one, 45.

00:11 The Lions have not won a division

00:13 in the National Football League for the past three decades.

00:17 But as you look at these odds, Joe,

00:20 all four teams separated by less than three bucks,

00:23 how competitive do you think the race for the top spot

00:27 in the NFC North is going to be this season?

00:29 - I think it's going to be very competitive

00:31 'cause I do think that you have a whole lot

00:33 of mediocre football teams in that division.

00:36 There is no, I mean, listen,

00:37 the guy that owned the Bears is no longer there.

00:40 He sold his share.

00:42 He's now with the New York Jets, right?

00:44 So Green Bay is an interesting team here this year.

00:48 They are also a team, guys,

00:50 that I have seen an awful lot of very respected bettors buy

00:55 not only to win this division, but to go over there.

00:59 Win total and are looking for a bunch of very unique spots

01:03 in order to be able to hammer them

01:06 during the regular season.

01:07 So there is some outlook here for the Green Bay Packers.

01:12 I think the Minnesota Vikings are a team

01:15 that have to take a step back here.

01:17 There is no way, guys, what they did last year

01:20 was the most ridiculous, every break in the world

01:24 went the Minnesota Vikings way.

01:27 I don't think they lost a game within one score,

01:30 including that Buffalo game, which was out of control.

01:33 So I do think everyone seems to be high on the Bears.

01:38 I do not see the Bears.

01:40 I don't know what Justin Fields has done

01:42 or what they think he's drinking,

01:44 that he's all of a sudden this all-world quarterback

01:46 that's gonna elevate this team to the top of the division.

01:49 I think there's value in Green Bay upsetting

01:52 all of these teams here and finishing on top

01:55 when it's all said and done.
