00:03 - Well, one team that usually doesn't play in the 30s
00:05 in terms of totals is the Detroit Lions.
00:07 And Jacob, right now,
00:09 they're heavily favored to make the playoffs.
00:11 My guess is they're gonna get there.
00:13 The only question is how far they can go.
00:16 Right now in their division,
00:18 it's not all that formidable.
00:19 You mentioned the Packers and the Bears.
00:21 I think we do have to at least acknowledge
00:23 that with Dobbs the quarterback,
00:24 maybe the Vikings can kind of hang tough.
00:26 I still do think Detroit wins the division,
00:29 but do you think that they're built
00:31 to win games in the playoffs, Jacob?
00:33 - I do.
00:36 I actually picked the Lions to make the Super Bowl
00:38 in the NFC before the season started.
00:41 I had the Bengals beating the Lions in the Super Bowl.
00:43 That was my pick.
00:45 And my logic for this is the Lions offense
00:48 is just so well-rounded.
00:49 They have a great offensive line when everyone is healthy.
00:52 And Jared Goff has gotten to a Super Bowl before
00:55 when he's not been asked to do too much.
00:57 And the Lions have that great supporting cast on offense
01:00 that really kind of meshes well with them.
01:03 And they've made defensive improvements.
01:05 So I do think this is sustainable.
01:07 I think you can argue,
01:08 hey, they're not the best team in the NFC.
01:10 They won't make it to the Super Bowl.
01:11 But I think that they're among the top three there.
01:14 And currently they're the number two seed.
01:16 So I see them winning a playoff game this year.
01:18 I think they're a really, really good team
01:20 and they're pretty well coached.
01:21 I know Dan Campbell sometimes is overaggressive,
01:23 but Ben Johnson has that offense playing
01:26 really, really well.
