00:00The Lions plus 210 to win the NFC, half the price of everybody else.

00:09San Francisco, despite a 4-4 record, still has that second-best number alongside Philadelphia.

00:15Both the 49ers and the Eagles are 5-1, but the Lions nearly $3 in front of both of those

00:21clubs.

00:22That's amazing.

00:24That really is.

00:26Unlike with Kansas City, Ben, I can't see anyone beating Kansas City.

00:31That's just one of those.

00:32I've got to see it to believe it.

00:33They've got to root for Kansas City with all the elements and everything else against them.

00:37I've got to see that.

00:38Detroit, could I see San Francisco getting everyone healthy at the end of the year, getting

00:43Christian McCaffrey back?

00:45Hopefully that's going to be sooner or later for San Fran, not at the end of the year.

00:48I could still see them knocking off Detroit.

00:52If you just want to go chalk, though, I will tell you, you put them in conference championship

00:57parlays.

00:58Kansas City wins the AFC, Detroit wins the NFC as the two overwhelming favorites.

01:03Still almost over 7.5 to 1, plus 7.68.

01:06That's not bad.

01:07Not bad.

01:08No.

01:09No, it is not, Scott.

01:10And the Lions, like the Chiefs, not quite a minus 4, 20 price, 4KC, to have that best

01:16record in the AFC.

01:18The Lions are still the odds-on favorites to have that best record in the NFC at minus

01:23115.

01:24And, Scott, when it comes to impressing based on odds expectation, unlike KC, who is just

01:30five and three against the number in terms of their eight wins, six of the eight by a

01:35single score, the Lions almost the complete opposite.

01:39They have covered in all seven of their wins this year.

01:42They are 44-18 against the spread with Dan Campbell as their head coach since the start

01:49of 2021.

01:51No other NFL team is covering in 61% or more of their games.

01:56The Lions' hit rate is 71% at this moment.

02:01Detroit is the best scoring offense in the league.

02:04Jared Goff is playing highly efficiently right now in an offense that is designed beautifully

02:09by Ben Johnson.

02:11And they just made some additions to that defensive side of the football as well.

02:16Scott, I agree.

02:17The Niners will be there if healthy at the end of the year.

02:20Heck, San Francisco has played in four of the last five NFC championship games.

02:25But I really do believe the Lions will be right there as well.

02:29I think Detroit is playing in the NFC championship game at bare minimum at the end of January.
