00:00Maybe the best team in football is the Detroit Lions and they start the day off against the

00:07Chicago Bears favored by 10.5 points and a total of 48.5.

00:13My times change where the best team on Thanksgiving Day is now the Lions and they kick off Thanksgiving

00:19Day.

00:20And for the Lions to be booked as 10.5 point favorites, I think that's the biggest margin

00:25they'd ever have to cover going back to 1968, going against your Eagles, Donnie.

00:30So with that, there's a lot of expectation for Jared Goff and Dan Campbell have not been

00:34great on Thanksgiving Day.

00:35Oh, and three straight up from the last three.

00:38So they're going to have to turn favors around here and spoil, and I think they've got a

00:42really good chance of doing so.

00:44It feels like maybe, you know, the Bears are playing better football.

00:47They could stick around and keep it close enough.

00:49They're getting plenty of points, but the Detroit Lions at home in their building, fast

00:54track.

00:55I think they're one of the best teams in football.

00:57It's a holiday.

00:58Thanksgiving Thursday.

00:59They're a little closer to friends and family.

01:02I think this one has all the makings with both quarterbacks playing better football.

01:05I mean, not to say Jared Goff hasn't had a fantastic season, but King Caleb is suddenly

01:10looking better and better.

01:11Plenty of points up and back, up and back.

01:14I think it's going to be an absolute track meet.

01:15I think the Bears could surprise a few people and stick around close enough to win this

01:19one straight up.

01:21Absolutely not.

01:22Not a huge travel scenario for, obviously, the Chicago Bears going to Detroit, but it's

01:27still going to be a travel day.

01:28You are getting on a plane.

01:29And also keep in mind, we talk about Dubsy, which I love to say, you play on a Sunday,

01:34right?

01:35Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, you're barely practicing on that short work week Thursday,

01:38but it's a Thursday night football game, right?

01:40Now you take a look and you're playing the road team here that's got to kick off at 1230

01:44p.m.

01:45So now you don't need to get the extra eight hours to maybe settle in and watch film or

01:48just get your wits together.

01:50It'll be an interesting scenario as it plays out.

01:52If we're looking at the touchdown scoring market here, which I always find fascinating,

01:56you saw David Montgomery in the last game for the Lions get banged up and injured a

01:59bit, but he's not being priced like that in the touchdown market.

02:02Jameer Gibbs at a minus 180 price at FanDuel, David Montgomery at a minus 170 price point

02:07here and typically it feels like they both score each and every week.

02:10But this weekend, I'm actually looking at Thursday, looking a little bit more to Jameer

02:14Gibbs.

02:15Both of these defenses are good, Dubsy.

02:16So you are looking for points tomorrow, is that correct?
