00:04 Got to eat them sometimes, that's for sure.

00:06 That's the way that it goes.

00:07 The Lions continue to win.

00:09 They beat the Panthers 42 to 24.

00:11 We spoke about this a few minutes ago.

00:13 The Panthers are awful, but the Lions

00:15 do what you're supposed to do to bad teams at home.

00:18 They dropped the hammer.

00:19 They even had a little trickery going yesterday, Scotty.

00:23 Even throwing flea flicker touchdowns

00:25 to Sam Laporta on Fox.

00:27 Jacobs has played well, but Manuel Mosley got some playing

00:30 time before bringing it in.

00:31 Back to Jared Goff, wide open.

00:33 He's going to come into the end zone,

00:35 and that's a Lions touchdown.

00:37 A little trickery, but that's two for Sam Laporta today.

00:42 They're going to win the North, and they're

00:44 going to be a problem for someone in the playoffs.

00:49 I don't think they're better than the Niners.

00:52 I think there is potential for them to upset

00:57 the Eagles in a playoff game.

00:59 Right, and I was thinking about this the other day,

01:01 because every week, like on Wednesdays,

01:03 we do all the futures.

01:04 We look at the Super Bowl.

01:05 We look at all that stuff.

01:07 And you look at the Lions number,

01:09 and you want to take a chance with the Lions

01:12 to maybe win the NFC or something like that.

01:13 But can they win, potentially, back-to-back weeks

01:17 on the road in Philly and San Francisco?

01:21 Could they beat one of them?

01:22 Maybe.

01:23 Could they beat them both, back-to-back weeks,

01:27 to get to a Super Bowl?

01:28 That's why it's hard for me to go and run to the window

01:32 and back the Lions.

01:33 Like, I just--

01:34 I don't think they could beat them both on the road

01:36 in the January.

01:36 I think it's a very tough ask.

01:38 In the future, I think you're right that it's not

01:41 the greatest bet you ever made in your life.

01:42 But on a week-to-week basis, they're very bettable.

01:46 And in a divisional semi, anything is possible.

01:50 Remember, everything's going your way

01:52 until you fumble the ball with eight minutes left in the game.

01:56 You throw a pick with six minutes left in the game.

02:00 It's simple.

02:01 The mistake that kills the team in the fourth quarter

02:04 could lead to a Lion win on the road in Philly.

02:07 I don't think they beat them and the Niners back-to-back.

02:10 But I-- look, I already said it.

02:13 There is potential.

02:14 I think Philly's really good.

02:16 But notice how every week, somebody

02:17 says there's something wrong with them.

02:19 They're not as good as they could be.

02:20 Even Speriani, they all say the same thing.

02:22 We're not even playing good football.

02:24 But they win every game.

02:25 So what happens when all you do is play and win and win

02:27 and win, but you're not really playing your best?

02:29 Well, then one day, someone comes up

02:31 and sleeps with your chick.

02:34 Fun game this week.

02:35 Lions go to Tampa to play the Bucs this Sunday.

02:38 That's a fun game to enjoy the best.
