00:00All right, tonight's game. Dallas and Detroit. Detroit's at home. They're favored by three.

00:05The spread to me means absolutely nothing in this game. But you've got two teams that seemingly

00:09are going in different directions. Yes. The Cowboys seem like, you know, they're the hot

00:14girl in town right now that puts out. And the Detroit Lions are like, man, she was hot a year

00:19ago, but she doesn't do the things I like. That's right. That's kind of the direction they're going

00:23in. But here's the reality. This is a must-win game for both of them. Because the winner of

00:29this game is now intimately involved in a playoff race and can lay claim to the fact

00:36that they're going to get in. On the Eagles side, excuse me, on the Cowboys side, a win

00:42tonight for Dallas puts a whole lot of pressure on your Philadelphia Eagles. A whole lot of

00:49pressure on your Eagles. It would make Monday against the Chargers on the road a must-win

00:53for the Eagles if the Cowboys were to win. And now, look, there's a tie involved there.

00:57But if Dallas wins this game tonight, the Eagles have to beat the Chargers or they're

01:03in a lot of trouble. Meaning, with a few games to go, the Cowboys would have a direct path

01:09to steal the division from the Eagles. Something a month ago was not even a possibility. So

01:15that's what's at stake right now for the Dallas Cowboys. Not just a wild card spot, a chance

01:21to steal the division from the Eagles. On the Detroit side, I mean, I don't think they're

01:28going to catch the Chicago Bears, the rise of right now. No, it doesn't. No, they're

01:31looking for a wild card. Wild card all around. I don't think they're going to overtake the

01:35Green Bay Packers. The Minnesota Vikings are a non-story right now. They might be done

01:39then. But the Packers, and that tie could come back and burn them right in the rear end.

01:45The Packers tie could hurt the Lions because it's not a loss. It's not a loss. The Lions

01:51are in trouble, man. Well, and you also have the teams out West. You talk about if one of

01:54them are. Rams, Seattle, and San Francisco. One of them is going to win a division. And

01:58San Fran's already got nine wins. Right. Probably both of them are two of the wild cards. That's

02:02one more spot. Right. That could just be the Packers spot. Yeah. Which is like tonight.

02:07I mean, again, I don't wager. I understand if you do. Tonight's a playoff game. Yeah. And

02:11if you are someone that likes to put a couple of ducats on a game that you have no other

02:15rooting interest in, tonight would be that game. Oh, yeah. Tonight's a pay-per-view event

02:20because tonight you're going to see two teams that think they're playoff teams playing a

02:25game that the loser probably doesn't get in. The winner, clear path to the postseason. Yeah,

02:32absolutely. I love tonight's game. I'm all about it. The spread doesn't help you out

02:35at all. This is one of those games where whoever you think is the better football team, flip

02:40the coin, that's the team you take. Absolutely. Also, Cowboys, a much healthier team. Lions

02:44with a ton of injuries on both sides of the ball. And I'll tell you something else. As

02:48much as everybody mocked Dallas for the Micah Parsons trade, and I get why. Great player,

02:53right? And Green Bay's defense is really good now. The fact that they acquired Quinn and

02:58Williams when they did, and they got the other guy back, I'm forgetting his name from injury.

03:03Overstreet. The Cowboys' defense is much better. Don't sleep on the Dallas Cowboys. Don't do

03:10it. Yeah.
