00:00Another dome team taking on the Rams, who we think probably pound for pound,

00:04the heavyweight champions in the NFL.

00:07The look-ahead line on this game had a 3.5-point favor for the Rams.

00:10No longer the case, people.

00:11It's up to 5.5 and 6s across the board, and points are expected.

00:16The opening line at 51.5, now we're up to 54.5 and 55s starting to break through.

00:22Jared Goff's going to have to do a lot.

00:24I just think the Rams are the better team.

00:26I trust the Rams' defense much more than it do Detroit.

00:29A touchdown victory for the Rams.

00:31For me, Joe, I think that's in the cards.

00:33They flex their muscles against the Lions.

00:36We saw this total get bet up, what, five?

00:40Five points, Donnie, which is just such a ridiculous jump in an NFL game in Week 15.

00:46So the Bucs underestimated what the market was thinking was going to happen in this game.

00:52And I can't blame an overbet here, Donnie,

00:56because look at the secondary of Detroit.

01:00They lost Brian Branch to an Achilles injury in that game there.

01:04They've lost DJ Reed now.

01:07They have backups to the backups playing in that secondary.

01:12And who is it?

01:13We just watched CeeDee Lamb, right?

01:15Absolutely destroy that secondary.

01:17What do you think Stafford and Puka Nakua are going to do with this secondary here?

01:24Detroit is going to have no problems trying to air it out.

01:29They are going to be desperate.

01:31They're going to leave it all out there.

01:33The problem is that defense has been giving up 30-plus points a game, Donnie.

01:37You know why?

01:38Those injuries in the secondary, this is not a good matchup for Detroit.

01:44They'll leave it all out there.

01:45I think there's going to be, this game's going to land in the 60s somewhere, Donnie.

01:49But ultimately, they're just not going to have enough.

01:53They're not going to get enough stops against Stafford and the Rams offense,

01:56which is going to lead them to likely lose this game.
