00:02 All right, let's start here.
00:04 Lions taking on the Packers.
00:06 What a big win it was for Green Bay last week,
00:08 coming back from that one.
00:09 I kind of quit on that game, to be honest.
00:11 They came back and won.
00:13 And Detroit, look, Detroit's supposed to be the better team
00:16 this season.
00:16 They've been a little bit up and down, that's true.
00:19 They're one and a half point favorites on the road,
00:21 total of 45 and a half.
00:22 Always fun to have a game at Lambeau at night,
00:26 on a Thursday night.
00:27 But these are two teams, at least on paper,
00:29 that appear to be more or less evenly matched.
00:32 The Packers, Jacob, look like they'll get Aaron Jones back.
00:35 I think that's probably important for them.
00:37 I don't know what has happened to AJ Dillon.
00:39 He just doesn't look like he could run anymore,
00:41 for whatever reason.
00:42 Maybe that helps them.
00:43 How do you see the game?
00:45 Yeah, I think this is going to be a really close matchup.
00:47 It's a toss-up of two pretty evenly matched teams.
00:50 Like you said, Jordan Love has been much better for the Packers
00:53 than I thought he was going to be.
00:54 I thought that he had talent, but I thought there'd be some
00:56 growing pains.
00:57 But he's been pretty clutch to start the year.
00:59 So I kind of think that the Packers are probably
01:02 the right side in this one, just because the game's at Lambeau.
01:05 And I think they're going to be extra motivated
01:07 to beat the Lions, because look, the Lions beat them
01:10 in week 18 last year.
01:12 Knocked them out of the playoffs, brought the Aaron Rodgers era
01:15 to an unceremonious type of end.
01:18 In a game where the Packers were favored,
01:20 and I think they're going to remember that.
01:22 I think Jordan Love's going to see this as an opportunity
01:24 to say, hey, these are the guys that everyone thought
01:26 was going to win the division.
01:28 They weren't giving us a chance.
01:29 Let's kind of stamp our claim to say the Packers still
01:32 are the team to beat in this division.
01:34 So I think all that's going to play into the Packers' hands.
01:37 And like you said, Aaron Jones is getting healthier.
01:39 We'll see how the offensive lines shake out for both sides.
01:42 Both teams have multiple starters down.
01:44 But if either David Bakhtiari or Elton Jenkins
01:46 can come back for the Packers, I think
01:48 they'll be in better shape, because the Lions, I think,
01:50 are missing Halepulivani Vitae, Matt Nelson,
01:53 and potentially Taylor Decker.
01:55 So lots of line injuries.
01:56 Those are always important when looking at the line.
01:59 (upbeat music)
