00:00You know, in the movie The Program, which was a fantastic movie in the 1990s,

00:03dealt with college football, a little bit of the inflated side of it,

00:06but still a fun watch nonetheless.

00:07You should check it out.

00:08What they used to say is, you know what,

00:10we're going to put the women and children in the bend

00:11and go out hunting for the boys.

00:13That might be what's happening for the Detroit Lions this weekend,

00:16going up against that Cincinnati defense.

00:18My question to you, Joe, is not if Detroit can win this game.

00:21Yes, can they cover the 10 points?

00:23Will this game go over the 48 and a half?

00:24But how many stops is Cincinnati getting?

00:26And also, Mr. Browning, hello,

00:29oh, the football season is here.

00:31You're supposed to save the day.

00:32What gives in this one?

00:34Yeah, well, you know, again, be careful here

00:37because this is another situation where recency bias

00:40is going to come into play, right?

00:42So, you know, it's like, oh boy, this Cincinnati team is terrible.

00:46And yes, they have some issues.

00:48And Detroit, of course, has looked the part once again.

00:53But what are we doing here?

00:55Double digits here on the road outdoors?

00:58And say what you want with Cincinnati.

01:01Listen, the one game that they actually played well enough

01:03and won and covered was at home against Jacksonville,

01:07who also looks pretty good here.

01:09So the value is on Cincinnati.

01:12Make no mistake about it.

01:13Well, listen, will they win the game?

01:17Probably not.

01:18Can they stay within double digits at home?

01:21Yeah, absolutely they can here, Donnie.

01:23Backs are against the wall.

01:25I would expect this team to be better at home as an underdog

01:28than anything on the road at this point with a backup quarterback.
