Lions vs. Vikings: A Close Clash in Division Showdown
Transcript
00:00 least something we have not seen in the past three decades. That's the Detroit
00:04 Lions winning a divisional championship. Detroit can do that as a three-point
00:10 road favorite in Minneapolis against the Vikings on Sunday afternoon, either by
00:14 winning outright or even with a tie. They're booked as a three-point
00:20 favorite squarely on that flat number of three. How key will that field goal
00:26 number be in the Twin Cities on Sunday, Joe, between the Lions and the Vikes?
00:30 Yeah, it's gonna be very key. In fact, it's gonna be probably the exact number
00:35 Detroit loses this game by. So listen, I'm just, yeah, let's be realistic here. I
00:42 loved the Lions last week against Denver because the situation was perfect for
00:48 them. Back home, they had been struggling, then they get a Denver team who just
00:53 came off a big divisional rivalry win, playing their third game on the road. It
00:58 was set up perfect for Detroit and they delivered. But now, now that everybody is
01:04 all happy, puppy dogs and rainbows and kumbaya, now they got to go and travel to
01:08 Minnesota to take on an extremely desperate Vikings team at home, which by
01:13 the way, this rivalry has been owned by one side and one side only here over the
01:18 last couple of seasons, and that's been by Minnesota. So I think Minnesota comes
01:24 out here and gives them everything and causes all sorts of havoc here.
01:30 Certainly, Brian Flores and that defense are going to be ready for Detroit.
01:34 They're not going to look like they did against Denver. This is going to be an
01:39 absolute dogfight here. I think ultimately it is a field goal game, but
01:44 do not be shocked when Minnesota still has some life left in them and wins this
01:49 game and continues to try and make the playoffs this year. Call me crazy. I
01:55 think Minnesota is a live dog here.
