00:00Monday Night Football, I know I'm going to have action this game

00:03because it just sets up well.

00:04It's a low 50s total.

00:05That's Tampa Bay and Detroit, and a favorite towards Detroit at minus 5.5.

00:08I always like betting on Detroit at home.

00:10They're a phenomenal dome football team.

00:12But here's the issue that we're worried about, Joe.

00:14When you look at trying to jump a number early in the week,

00:16like, hey, I don't want to see it get the 6 or 6.5,

00:18or I don't think it gets the 4.5, let me take the 5.5 for the Bucs.

00:21We don't know who's playing here.

00:22Both of these teams heavily damaged, suspensions and injuries

00:26on both sides of the football.

00:28The one thing I look at for that Detroit offense,

00:30they're not injured, they're not going to be suspended, they should move it.

00:32But that defensive secondary is basically without everybody,

00:35it feels like this week.

00:37Make sure you keep an eye on some of those practice reports

00:39because for me right now, this is a tough call

00:41because I don't even know who's playing in this game, Joe.

00:44Well, and here's the other problem.

00:46Another one of these 5, 5.5 lines, right, Donnie,

00:49that the books are thrown out there.

00:51They're telling you right there, this is, wait to see.

00:55I mean, I would wait as long as possible.

00:56I do think the number will come back down towards Tampa Bay.

01:01So if you are looking to, if you're looking to take the points,

01:05I would take them now.

01:07If you think Detroit is the right side here,

01:09I would hold off as close to game time

01:11because that's secondary, Donnie, and the suspect,

01:14it's not going to get any better.

01:16Mahomes ripped them apart.

01:18He got whatever he wanted through the air.

01:20And what about Baker Mayfield and his passing attack of Tampa

01:23tells us they can't do the same, nothing.

01:26So, yeah, I would hold off and wait to hear

01:29who's in and who's out for both sides here.

01:31Okay.

01:32We'll be right back there.

01:40Okay.

01:40I'll see you next time.
