00:00They're Minnesota and Detroit.
00:03The stakes again is unbelievable.
00:07It's awesome.
00:08It's unfortunate.
00:09I know.
00:10Have we done that the yearly dance of we got to stop at the
00:13wild cards like let's reformat everything where people are
00:16like, ah, this should be for the one in the two seed.
00:19And we've haven't done that.
00:21People are into it.
00:21That's good.
00:22I'm glad you know how every like every like five years we
00:25got a seven and nine team, right?
00:27When's the division like we got to do away with then they
00:29win a playoff game and everybody quiets down quickly
00:31or they think that like the one year was the NFC East.
00:34They're like this division will never get back on its feet
00:36and then every year they put two teams in the playoffs.
00:38It's neither here nor there.
00:40The winners the one seed and potentially going to be booked
00:43as favorites to win the entire conference loser is at the
00:47moment projected to go to Los Angeles to play the Rams which
00:52for these two specific teams last year, that's what the Lions
00:57played very close game in Detroit.
01:01It's who the Lions opened with this year.
01:03Very close game in Detroit for Minnesota.
01:08The only other team that Detroit who beat them this season
01:12is the LA Rams in that building.
01:15The stakes are unreal in this football game here.
01:21We can get into it.
01:22But are you guys right now feeling confident in a side
01:26Eileen?
01:27I know this will come out maybe hypocritical due to the bashing
01:30Eileen Detroit because they are at home and I still think
01:33that home field advantage matters and I would think there
01:38are aspects of Detroit's overall game that could be cleaned
01:41up in a moment like this.
01:43I think sometimes it's difficult to ask a team to go on the
01:45type of run you are asking Minnesota to go on to now snag
01:49this one seed Eileen Detroit my action to be elsewhere in
01:52the game and he leaned for you Lisa your love aside.
01:55No, I like Minnesota.
01:57That's the side and I like them on the money line.
01:59You're talking about a team that has won nine straight,
02:01right?
02:02They've won those games by an average margin of victory of
02:057.8 points per game.
02:06They're six and one on the road this year five true road games
02:10outside the wind in London against the New York Jets,
02:13right?
02:13They've won those games very close by an average margin of
02:164.8 points per game.
02:18But you look at the flip side for Detroit dominant on team
02:21six and two at home.
02:22They've won those games by an average margin of 18.1 points
02:26per game.
02:26But let's look at the last three at home in Ford Field.
02:30They won against Chicago didn't cover one against Green Bay
02:34didn't cover and lost outright to the Buffalo Bills.
02:37So now you're talking about three straight games where they
02:40haven't covered at home.
02:41I know they got the victory on the road and the cover against
02:44San Francisco.
02:45This is a different animal.
02:46I believe in the defense more than I do in Detroit and I
02:50believe in Sam Donald right now 377 last week with JJ on the
02:54outside.
02:55Give me the Vikings in the upset.
02:56Yeah, it's it's one of those to me where again, it's not a
02:59cop-out.
02:59I'm just going to go with the home team in this spot Detroit
03:01if was in Minnesota.
03:02I would have done the same thing but understand this the winner
03:05is going to certainly reap the benefits of this victory by
03:08getting a week off and having home field advantage that is
03:10massive massive, but let's take a look at the loser here and
03:13what happens to them.
03:14Let's just say as Kevin pointed out it could be the Rams Rams
03:17know full.
03:17Well, they're not playing their starters this week Sean McVay
03:20and that seems like you know what we are now going to be
03:22focused completely on these two football teams and we've been
03:24capping them and going over all the film on those two football
03:27teams alone when you look at the games between Minnesota and
03:29you know going to take on Detroit tonight.
03:30They're not the luxury that they have to go full gas this week.
03:33So they practice are but also go back to the week before you
03:35look at the Minnesota Vikings had a really hard game with the
03:37Packers and then you have Detroit who had the advantage
03:39to say I'm going to rest my guys in a meaningless game get them
03:42a breath of air and have be better on solid ground than what
03:46we could have been they didn't so the loser drops down to the
03:48five and then is going to say we just went through a gauntlet
03:51the past couple weeks played all at all starters.
03:53We are out of gas and let's just say this game is up 30 to
03:5527 a hard-fought victory.
03:57Then you got to go on the road against a team that's been
03:59waiting for you in their own building.
04:01My goodness.
04:02The loser is really going to behind the eight ball of a 14
04:05win season.
