00:02 - What is your favorite side, DRS,
00:05 for this game between Detroit and Green Bay?
00:08 - Hard to do, because I'm not gonna take the Packers
00:10 to win the football game just because how hard,
00:12 excuse me, not gonna take the Lions here
00:14 because it's just hard to win the football game
00:17 on the road on a Thursday night here,
00:18 specifically in the division.
00:20 So I'm taking a look here at the Green Bay Packers
00:22 and try to take advantage of some of those injuries
00:24 in the first half.
00:25 What I mean by that is, if I think Aaron Jones
00:27 is gonna play and be effective,
00:28 well, I know at least he's gonna start the game
00:30 and he'll be out there for packages in the first half.
00:32 The same thing here for Watson.
00:34 So I'm just gonna take the Green Bay Packers
00:35 getting one and a half in the first half,
00:37 which means have a lead at the half, great.
00:39 Be tied at the half, fantastic.
00:41 Losing seven to six at the half, even better.
00:44 It's still a cover on my end of it.
00:45 I'm gonna lean Green Bay Packers first half here
00:47 in Lambeau tonight.
00:48 - Donny, maybe this is a cop-out
00:51 and not the best handicapping peel back the curtain
00:55 that you might find, but when it came to putting together
00:57 my triple option, I really only like a couple of props
01:00 for Thursday night football.
01:01 The last few weeks, I've felt pretty good
01:03 about how I'm seeing the board overall.
01:05 For this game between Green Bay and Detroit, not so much.
01:09 I'm going with the Lions outright on the money line,
01:11 minus 122, just because I believe in Detroit
01:15 as the favorite, and on top of that,
01:17 if the Lions are the favorites to win the NFC North,
01:20 and they are expected to win football games
01:22 as that favorite side for a good majority of this season,
01:25 these are the games they have to go out and get.
01:28 If the Lions lose this one, DRS,
01:30 drop the two and two straight up,
01:31 Green Bay improves the three and one,
01:33 where the Packers now are a perfect two and O in division,
01:36 and the Lions have lost their first and only game
01:38 in the NFC North, it's not Detroit
01:40 who's going to be booked as the favorite
01:42 when we wake up on a Friday morning to win the NFC North.
01:45 It's going to be Green Bay.
01:46 Yes, it's on the road.
01:47 They're going to get the Packers in the Motor City
01:49 later in the year.
01:51 I understand all of that,
01:52 just the first divisional game for Detroit.
01:54 But if they want to earn the burden of proof
01:57 now placed upon them as the favorites in this division,
02:01 looking for their first divisional crown
02:03 in three decades, Donnie,
02:05 these are the games where Detroit can go a long way
02:07 into making a statement.
02:09 Give me the Lions outright, minus one 22.
