00:05 At least something we have not seen in the past three decades.
00:08 That's the Detroit Lions winning a divisional championship.
00:13 Detroit can do that as a three point road favorite in Minneapolis against
00:17 the Vikings on Sunday afternoon, either by winning outright or even with a tie.
00:23 They're booked as a three point favorite, squarely on that flat number of three.
00:29 How key will that field goal number be in the Twin Cities on Sunday, Joe,
00:34 between the Lions and the Vikes?
00:36 >> Yeah, it's gonna be very key.
00:38 In fact, it's gonna be probably the exact number Detroit loses this game by.
00:42 So listen, I'm just, yeah, let's be realistic here.
00:47 I loved the Lions last week against Denver because
00:51 the situation was perfect for them.
00:54 Back home, they had been struggling, then they get a Denver team who just came
00:58 off a big divisional rivalry win, playing their third game on the road.
01:04 It was set up perfect for Detroit and they delivered.
01:07 But now, now that everybody is all happy, puppy dogs and rainbows and kumbaya,
01:12 now they gotta go and travel to Minnesota to take on an extremely desperate
01:16 Vikings team at home.
01:18 Which by the way, this rivalry has been owned by one side and
01:23 one side only here over the last couple of seasons, and that's been by Minnesota.
01:27 So I think Minnesota comes out here and gives them everything and
01:32 causes all sorts of havoc here.
01:35 Certainly, Brian Flores and that defense are gonna be ready for Detroit.
01:39 They're not going to look like they did against Denver.
01:43 This is going to be an absolute dogfight here.
01:46 I think ultimately it is a field goal game.
01:49 But do not be shocked when Minnesota still has some life left in them and
01:54 wins this game and continues to try and make the playoffs this year.
01:59 Call me crazy, I think Minnesota is a live dog here.
