00:00All right, the Sunday night game is actually really good.

00:06You have Detroit and Houston squaring off three and a half point favorites.

00:11You've seen Detroit just go through everybody right now.

00:14They beat up on Green Bay.

00:16They laid three and a half then by kick with Jordan Love starting and went down to two

00:20and a half.

00:21Didn't matter.

00:22They had a double digit lead heading into the fourth quarter.

00:25You got Jared Goff playing as good as he's ever played in L.A. and now in Detroit.

00:30He looks like a Super Bowl winning quarterback, definitely playing MVP caliber, right, with

00:36only 26 incompletions basically over the last six weeks.

00:41Playing Houston, Houston getting embarrassed by New York and Aaron Rodgers, offenses sputtered

00:48in back to back weeks.

00:50This could be a get right spot.

00:51I understand Detroit, but it's back to back road games, Houston in an above average defense.

00:58I think they could potentially strike the upset, plus the 152 I'm looking at, also over

01:03the 48 and a half.

01:07Detroit to me is just an automatic, and I don't say this too often, automatic play,

01:12Joe.

01:13Their numbers are just like too good, just 42 and 17, not straight up against the spread

01:19last three years.

01:20That's 25 games over 500.

01:23There's not a scanty capper in the world that wouldn't take those numbers, right?

01:27How about on the road though, Scott, 16 and three against the spread on the road, including

01:3311 and one last 12.

01:35What about as a favorite, Scott?

01:36How about eight and one against the spread their last nine times as a road favorite as

01:41they are here?

01:43But Jared Goff, the most profitable quarterback, believe it or not, goofy Jared Goff over the

01:47last five years, 60, 30 and one.

01:51So this thing goes back to his Ram days.

01:52I mean, they just, all they do is cover games and win games.

01:56And as I was telling Ben, we were talking a little bit, you know, they went from being

01:59awful to start the streak to being mediocre to continue streak.

02:03And now they continue to cover games when they're really, really good.

02:06So that they've spanned the gamut there.

02:09I don't go, but you might not do as I do.

02:12And I bet them every week, but I wouldn't ever bet against them.

02:15No way.

02:16Not even as tempting as that is with Houston at home, getting three and a half.

02:19That's a pretty good number, right?

02:20For five and three football team, but I'm not betting against the lions.

02:24Nope.
