00:00Now, we talked about holiday week on the pregame party.
00:06We talked about some of our favorite side dishes.
00:08We went into a few of the things.
00:10So let's just say this.
00:11A lot more is going to be heating up on Thursday than all the food we will all be eating, hopefully.
00:16You've got bears versus lions, giants versus cowboys, dolphins versus Packers.
00:20And while some of us might look at these teams and be like, what are they really going to
00:23do on Thursday?
00:25The competition is very much still going to be there for some reason or another.
00:29That prime time spot, that holiday slot, that Thanksgiving pressure, it's really going
00:33to be heating up.
00:34So you've got the Bears, who you and I talked about briefly last night on the postgame show,
00:38taking on the Lions.
00:3910 and a half on the spread, 48 and a half when it comes to the total.
00:42We saw the Bears weather a lot of good play versus the Vikings team.
00:46So what do we make of this matchup to get things going on Thursday?
00:50Yeah, this game should be lopsided, as everyone would assume from the Lions' perspective.
00:57A lot of people don't like to lay 10 and a half points really with any team in the NFL.
01:04We've seen a lot of underdogs covering, we've seen a lot of underdogs winning.
01:07I absolutely do not expect the Bears to win this game.
01:10Do they cover?
01:13Maybe the Lions are just covering machines.
01:15They're 9-2 against the spread this year.
01:17As I said before, the Lions are the class of the NFL.
01:20They should not be taking this game lightly.
01:22It is a divisional game.
01:24I think they come out and they want to pour on the offense as they always do.
01:28Montgomery's sitting at minus 185 for a touchdown when he was super banged up with a shoulder injury.
01:33He went back to locker room in their game over Indy over the weekend.
01:37He actually went back to locker room walking with his pads already off.
01:41Now, it's very short weeks, and it's an early start on Thursday.
01:45So the Montgomery news will impact my interest in Gibbs.
01:48St. Brown should be scoring.
01:50He didn't score last week, didn't, you know, broke his eight-game touchdown streak.
01:53So that's where I'll likely be looking, and the under might be the play.
01:57Like, I think the Lions can win this game 30-10, right?
02:03Like, they cover, and the under hits, or something around there.
02:06Like, I think they just blow out the—the Lions blow out the Bears.
02:09They win this game.
02:10It's all Lions, Lions on slot, but the under does hit.
02:14I have faith in that, seeing as how they didn't really fumble anything going against a cold
02:17team that could have kept things a little bit more interesting.
02:19So when you're seeing such clean play executed so consistently from the Lions, it's just
02:24so hard not to say exactly that.
