00:00 their way.
00:03 And removing the Niners that
00:07 next tier of NSC teams. I'm
00:09 interested in Detroit right now.
00:11 Yeah, because of their ability
00:12 to win on the road as well.
00:14 Look, they almost knocked off
00:15 the Dallas Cowboys. That was a
00:17 team that has been dominant in
00:19 Arlington, not just this year,
00:20 but over the past two seasons,
00:22 right? They won fifteen
00:23 straight when the Detroit
00:25 walked in. There's a four and
00:26 a half point underdog almost
00:27 knocked them off in terms of
00:29 their ability to arrowhead week
00:31 number one and get that victory.
00:32 So for me, I want teams that can
00:35 perform on the road, especially
00:36 in terms of a playoff
00:37 environment. So if we're not
00:39 betting a team like San
00:40 Francisco Chalk, I would look to
00:42 Detroit because of their ability
00:44 to step up in terms of road
00:46 environments against better
00:47 competition. You can't buy in,
00:49 at least I can't, Dallas big
00:51 term, long term because they
00:52 haven't won a critical matchup
00:54 on the road. That has been the
00:56 weakness of Dak Prescott and the
00:58 Dallas Cowboys throughout the
00:59 regular season. Can't beat Philly
01:01 on the road, can't beat San
01:02 Francisco. T-step up spots, they
01:04 lose to Miami. So I can't buy in.
01:06 I would look to Detroit. Again,
01:08 I like Stafford. I like the LA
01:10 Rams because of how they've come
01:12 on. Again, I agree with you. I
01:14 think it'll be a tough matchup
01:15 if they do draw Detroit and have
01:17 to go on the road, but I like
01:19 LA. If we're looking for dark
01:21 horses, LA would be my choice,
01:23 guys. Yeah, but you take a look
01:25 at LA too. There's a chance
01:26 they can go to the seven seed
01:27 today, which is interesting to
01:28 me because again, it plays into
01:30 that the Dallas Cowboys will
01:31 play. They'll play all their
01:32 starters. They'll be on the
01:33 road. They got to play next week
01:34 no matter what because you're
01:35 not going to be able to get the
01:36 number one overall seed. And
01:37 look at the Rams here, benching
01:38 all of their starters of the
01:39 facto bye week before they head
01:40 into that game. But Kevin does
01:42 bring up a good point of the
01:43 Detroit Lions. It's clear as
01:44 day. They go outdoors. They're
01:45 nearly not nearly as effective
01:46 as they are indoors. If and it's
01:48 a gift, it knocks off the
01:50 49ers. You will play another
01:52 game. Hang on you winning and
01:54 then get to the Super Bowl.
01:55 Where's that at? Las Vegas. Oh
01:56 yeah, that's another dome
01:57 stadium here. So maybe it does
01:59 work out well for the Detroit
02:00 Lions.
02:01 Yeah.
