00:02 Detroit and New Orleans.
00:04 New Orleans, I figured, would be able to walk away with the NFC South.
00:07 They're a bad football team.
00:08 Detroit should have lost to the Chicago Bears, did lose on Thanksgiving Day.
00:12 Mark, let me ask you this question.
00:13 Lions favored by four and a half points this week.
00:15 Is this a bounce back spot on the road for them?
00:17 Or are they starting to show some of those fractures where, okay,
00:20 we know they're a good football team, but how good can they actually be?
00:22 >> This is one of two lines I think that was a severe overreaction,
00:27 what we saw last week, and the fact that the Lions are only a four and
00:30 a half point favorite over New Orleans offense.
00:34 That can't find the end zone with a road map and a flashlight.
00:37 Like I get that the Superdome, whatever it's called now,
00:39 is a tough place to play and everything.
00:41 But this is a big team.
00:43 Like there's nothing redeeming about it.
00:45 Dennis Allen is probably coaching for his job at this point and
00:47 doesn't have much left.
00:49 Like great number two, great defense coordinator, horrible head coach.
00:52 And I was a guy who defended Derek Carr to the hill until he showed up in
00:55 New Orleans, cuz he stinks.
00:57 And that offense is bad, and there's nothing redeeming about it.
01:00 This is a gift line for the Detroit Lions here.
01:04 The lowest I would have made this was six and a half, if not seven,
01:07 at the open by Ben, my power ratings, which don't mean squat to anybody.
01:10 But still, the point is,
01:11 I think the Lions are much better than four and a half here.
01:14 I think this is a gift.
01:14 I'm hitting the Lions hard this weekend to bounce back after an embarrassing spot.
01:18 I think Dan Campbell will remind them, hey, we shouldn't start patting ourselves
01:23 on the back and reading our own press clippings just yet.
