Nick and Femi share their early bets for the Lions vs Texans.

Transcript

00:00This is D'Amico Ryans at his press conference today. Texans head coach asked for an update on Niko Collins.

00:04He's eligible to return from IR this week, right, and that's what we've thought all along. He'd be back in week 10.

00:09D'Amico Ryans said today, quote,

00:11"...will continue to evaluate Niko throughout the week and see where he is."

00:16Which doesn't mean that Niko won't play on Sunday,

00:19but you read something like that and you think,

00:21mmm, maybe there's a chance that he's not ready to come back this week,

00:24and that would support your point, Femi, that, like,

00:26obviously this is gonna go up.

00:29If Niko Collins doesn't play, and then would you still like Houston, if that's the case?

00:32Um, because you're already in on the Houston Texans.

00:35Yeah, yeah, so if you hear that news, if you like Houston, just wait,

00:38and find out whether Niko Collins is gonna play in the game or not.

00:40I think that, I would guess that he does, but

00:43I'm also just guessing in my room in Las Vegas, Nevada.

00:45I'm not in Houston, Texas, uh, tied to the Houston Texans organization.

00:48So, I just think that, like, getting C.J. Stroud, which I get that he struggled,

00:52but still getting Stroud more than a field goal at home,

00:55I still like that aspect of it as well, with a good head coach,

00:58and D'Amico Ryan's extra time to prepare, extra time to get healthy.

01:02I like the Houston Texans, just, like, kind of, like, from a gut standpoint,

01:05but also numerically, like, I think that this is just a little bit too much

01:08in terms of the respect for their Troy Lions,

01:09even though they are one of the elite teams in the league.

01:11I don't think they're the best team in the league,

01:13but that's how they're being rated in this particular game,

01:15and I'd like to play against them.

01:17Okay, so, strong take from you.

01:19Also, like, you have a great number that no longer exists.

01:22So, right now, just, just, and I know, like, you said it once already,

01:25but just to punctuate it, like, what should people do

01:28that have not yet bet this game, Femi, in your estimation?

01:30Currently, the point spread at BetMGM is a deuce three towards Detroit.

01:35If you agree with me and you like the Houston Texans, I think you wait.

01:38You might get that three and a half.

01:39If you disagree with me and you like the Detroit Lions,

01:41you should probably bet that right now at bet three minus 110.

01:44So, for me, it's wait, get the Texans, but I bet that last night.

01:47But, yeah, if you like Houston, just wait, and I think you might get it back.
