00:00I want people to consider this, because I don't think anybody is right now.
00:04Detroit's schedule,
00:06after tomorrow's home game against the Bears,
00:08I like the Bears to cover the spread.
00:10I don't think Chicago's gonna win.
00:12So I think Detroit will win and improve to 11-1.
00:15Detroit's schedule, down the stretch, not easy.
00:18How about next Thursday night?
00:21Home Green Bay.
00:23And I know the Lions won and covered at Lambeau about a month ago.
00:27Like, the difference in that game is Detroit converted its fourth downs and Green Bay didn't.
00:31A way closer game than the final score would indicate.
00:35So Green Bay next Thursday.
00:36Then, they host the Buffalo Bills.
00:39Anyone think that's gonna be easy? Lions will be favored.
00:42Not an easy game.
00:43At the Chicago Bears,
00:45who with Thomas Brown now as the offensive coordinator, like, this offense looks like it has a pulse.
00:49At the San Francisco 49ers, who might be fighting for their NFC West lives,
00:53and you would think, theoretically,
00:55Bosa would be healthier, Trent Williams would be healthier, Purdy will be good to go, we'll see.
00:59But that makes sense, right? Just as a concept,
01:01that the Niners will be healthier, probably playing for their playoff lives.
01:05And then that gets us to Week 18.
01:08Where the Lions will host the Minnesota Vikings.
01:11Now, Detroit beat Minnesota in Minnesota earlier this year.
01:14We bet the Lions in that game, it was really awesome.
01:16I'm not saying that the Vikings are gonna win the NFC North,
01:20that the Vikings are going to be the one seed.
01:22Detroit's the favorite in both of those markets for a reason.
01:26But can't you see?
01:27Can't you see?
01:29Shout out to the Marshall Tucker Band, very underrated, classic rock group.
01:32Can't you see a scenario where Week 18 is for the NFC North, potentially?
01:38Is that so crazy to think about?
01:41I think that we, collectively, as a media,
01:44as a people,
01:46as football fans, bettors, and analysts,
01:49need to start considering the reality that the Minnesota Vikings,
01:53when it's all said and done this regular season,
01:55might have the biggest record in the NFC.
01:58It's not impossible.
02:00And I think they win this weekend against Arizona.
