00:00lions are two and a half point favorites at home against the green bay packers this one went the

00:04way of the lions the first time out detroit has been a fantastic home team although uh their

00:10defense is just seemingly falling apart especially last week against the giants this is such a short

00:15line danny for detroit at home are they going to be able to pull this one off this week i know

00:20golf usually plays well at home too but my confidence is a little shaken watching that

00:24defense last week yeah and craig happy to be here once again and happy thanksgiving to you

00:29and yours and everybody out there listening i i felt the same way i see a little bit of an edge

00:34here with detroit at minus two in the hook now the issue is it is a division game short week so

00:39you're not really going to see a big gap especially with two respected teams such as this although i'm

00:44still not necessarily a believer in this green bay team to make a deep run i know when you look at the

00:50deeper metrics jordan loves numbers are still putting him up as one of the top quarterbacks but

00:55come on i mean if you're watching these games we've seen time and time again he is prone to

00:59mistakes and the play calling has been suspect from matt lafleur who i do think is a great coach

01:03but there's just been these flaws out of green bay now on the other side detroit's defense is top half

01:08in the league but yeah last week was an absolute disaster with this number being under the key

01:14number of three i would lean toward detroit i think they win this one about 27 to 24 is where

01:19i have it but i see a bit more value in the total going over and that's a bet that i made over 48 and a

01:25half at minus 115 is a number that i found available you can still get it at like 49 49 and a half

01:30literally i think it's going over both i mean they're both great in red zone offense they're top

01:34seven defensively they're 19th or worse are both of these defenses so i think it's going to be a

01:40shootout we're going to see a similar offense to green bay in week one against detroit except this time

01:44the lions can also match them on their offensive side so yeah i think we're going to see some points

01:49here in this nfc north battle to kick things off
