00:03 Sunday Night Football, you mentioned the storylines, Mark Zinno,
00:07 none more than this.
00:08 The first playoff game in the Motor City in 30 years.
00:12 The Detroit Lions looking for their first playoff win
00:15 since the 1991 NFL season.
00:18 And returning is Matthew Stafford,
00:20 a guy that spent the first 11 years of his NFL career in Detroit.
00:24 Jared Goff's reunion against his former head coach in Sean McVay.
00:28 Storylines, narratives, now the actual numbers for a football game.
00:32 The Lions booked as a three-point home favorite.
00:35 The total is the highest of Super Wild Card weekend at 51 and a half.
00:41 How do you break down the matchup between the Lions and the Rams?
00:45 Well, look, it's too short of a number for me to take the dog, right?
00:49 And being the fact that it is Matt Stafford back in that building,
00:53 it's almost kind of like hard to bet against him in this spot.
00:59 Guys, I would attack this this way.
01:01 And sometimes you just kind of look for better opportunities here.
01:05 Tell me the Rams aren't getting to 24 and then tell me why, right?
01:09 Because their team total is 23 and a half.
01:12 This is a bad Lions defense, we know that.
01:14 Look at the total of this game, the highest of the weekend at 51 and a half.
01:17 The Rams are going to have to do their part.
01:19 Look, even if the Rams only have 17 in the fourth quarter
01:23 and the Lions are up by two scores,
01:25 isn't the opportunity for a backdoor touchdown late to get me over to 24
01:29 always on the table here?
01:31 Even if the Lions are routing them?
01:33 Like, the Lions defense is not good enough to stop really anybody,
01:38 any competent offense or competent quarterback.
01:40 I mean, the Rams could easily get the 20 in the first half
01:44 the way things look defensively for the Lions.
01:46 So that's the way I'm attacking this game.
01:48 Give me the Rams, over 23 and a half team total here
01:51 against a bad Lions defense.
01:53 And I can sit back and enjoy sort of the rest of the game
01:55 as long as the Rams keep scoring.
