00:06okay uh so it's kind of interesting that in vegas we got two teams here that are
00:15you know fringe contenders or contenders or whatever you want to call them i guess it
00:20doesn't matter what you call them they're both 12 to 1 the the lions are 12 to 1 to win
00:25the nfc
00:25and go to the super bowl and the pistons are 12 to 1 to go to the nba finals representing
00:32the
00:32eastern conference and these odds courtesy of fanduel and battleline.ag uh we tweeted this
00:39morning um if you had to bet one or the other and just think of it if you had a
00:43hundred dollar
00:43credit that was only used for one of these two things would you put your money on the pistons
00:48at 12 to 1 or the lions at 12 to 1 and uh there are 224 votes have come in
00:55what do you think is
00:56leading scott uh lions kang what do you think is leading oh um i'm gonna say pistons because the
01:07lions have disappointed a lot of people right now and the pistons haven't disappointed you yet
01:11fair enough uh right now with 56.3 of the vote it's the lions leading the way the pistons at
01:1943.8
01:22matt writes in lions are not winning the nfc with this defense especially since the offense takes a
01:27quarter to get going so far this year can't fall behind playoff teams and expect to win games give
01:32me the pistons who also on a sure thing but seem slightly more likely uh let's see
01:41pistons uh i'm sorry let me just do something here john's or c john says pistons because only a
01:49few teams are better and they can hang with them lions are middle of the nfc and don't think they
01:54could make it out of the first round even if they make it part of my reason for taking the
02:01lions over
02:01to pistons is i don't know what i'm going to see with the pistons because they've changed the look of
02:06their team but i don't know if it's going to work out or not we only played a few preseason
02:10games
02:11and you're not going to glean anything off of that if you were you would say well i say it
02:15shows not
02:15gonna be able to score because he hasn't shot very well and the early going and i don't think that's
02:19fair we haven't seen jalen during yet i don't even know if he's playing tonight and the pistons are
02:25we're going to take it slow with him on why he's back practicing it's just it's a it's an exhibition
02:30game what are you worried about but i don't know what i'm expecting from and you could say the same
02:36thing about the other teams you think have improved themselves by adding other players to the mix but
02:41you haven't seen them yet either i just uh i'm still hesitant on the pistons the lions i think the
02:47landscape in the nfc has changed i think it's changed a lot where teams you thought were really
02:53good really good contenders possible contenders they have fallen off and fallen off significantly
02:58because of injuries or or whatever like philadelphia for instance so i think the lions can contend with
03:04anybody in this uh in this conference let's go to tom you're on 97.1 hello tom
03:11hey what's going on guys how are we doing hey guys how you doing good good hey i um i'm
03:18picking the
03:19lions i don't know if you guys saw colin uh cowherd's uh poll yesterday or his rankings he had the
03:25top 10
03:25teams in nfl he had the lions at ninth and there was no other nfc north teams before them so
03:30seems like the national media have kind of turned and i think last week's game have some people
03:36changing their thoughts on what they've seen previously and tom that's interesting because
03:40i looked up the power rankings yesterday we never got around to it but it was like cbs the athletic
03:45espn the usual suspects and the lions ranked anywhere between 11th and 13th uh colin might like them a
03:53little bit more i can see the argument that can be made for them you'd have to buy into
03:57what jared golf told us on tuesday which is which by the way happy birthday to jared who turns 32
04:03today
04:03um but he made the comment that look this is who we think we really are is that team that
04:09showed up
04:10against arizona and certainly it's you know the best performance they've had this year and they're
04:15going to try and capitalize off that and i don't blame them but they they have to prove that well
04:19it's
04:20interesting the uh the vegas odds have changed in the nfc conference the the here the leaders to win
04:25the uh nfc number one san francisco comes in at uh 17 to 5 which is plus 340 the rams
04:33are second at
04:34four to one sea bags are third at six to one and then this is this is where i found
04:39it interesting
04:40minnesota at 17 to 2 the bears at 12 to 1 and the lions at 18 to 1 the lions
04:47have dropped since
04:47yesterday to win the nfc they've dropped that much win the nfc and that's who what website uh this is
04:55uh was this bet ag or this is from jimmy shapiro okay wow that's that's quite a false since yesterday
05:02bet on i mean i literally looked at it yesterday and so what's happened between yesterday and today
05:08not sure this came out yesterday hmm uh yeah well i i was using fanduel i guess is where i
05:15saw this but
05:16let me see if i can find what fanduel has them on uh uh conference um fanduel has them at
05:2411 to 1 now
05:25so in fanduel they've went up but all right uh here's the feedback pistons because the lions are
05:32not even making the playoffs that's from jay uh pistons the east is weaker that's from keith and romeo
05:40the east is weaker huh he thinks the east is weaker than the nfc because that's the that's the
05:48relevant comparison right see the uh nba champion came from the east and then other teams look like
05:56they're getting healthier and better uh terry from how i bet on the pistons to win the east the lions
06:02still have a lot to prove on defense johnny writes and this is a terrible question yeah
06:09then he writes you have to pick the pistons the lions are a quarter of the way through the season
06:13and they're not even going to win the north at least the pistons we can be hopeful
06:18sean and warren pistons all day they are improving every year with no question marks like the lions have
06:23oh i think they have question marks
06:29um here's an interesting start to a text this is for mark
06:36do you think it means this is from mark i think so okay uh well i'll read it as written
06:42this is for
06:43mark and i'm assuming both will make the playoffs which is not a given for sure but if they do
06:48i would
06:48bet on the lions they would only need to win two games or three games pistons have to win 12
06:53i think
06:54it's easier to upset a team in one game rather than in a seven game series i think that's logical
07:00tom in florida writes in would bet on the pistons to win the nba's eastern conference the nba's eastern
07:05conference is wide open to me and they have enough talent lions winning the nfc as they currently are
07:09constructed is a pipe dream uh i would bet on the lions their offense is good enough to win them
07:16close
07:16games bottom line i believe in campbell goff and gibbs chris in fallerville says lions to win the
07:23super bowl lions to the super bowl sorry i trust their offense in the postseason over the pistons
07:28and whatever jaylen duran is and then paul says lions i think they can get hot at the end of
07:35the
07:35season and reach the super bowl versus the pistons in the east which seems very difficult so anyway
07:42those are some of the responses that we got so far on this one where do you stand on this
07:46i mean i i'm
07:49gonna try and be consistent i'm gonna stick with the lions and it goes back to my preseason thoughts
07:53and you know i go down with the ship i plant the flag i stick by my opinions and then
08:01i let them go
08:01up in flames and take the l so i'm just gonna stick with the yes indeed um i thought they
08:08would be
08:08exceptionally good this year they haven't been so far but i'll i'll stand by it i think there's some
08:14help is on the way for the lions to to make us feel better about their chances king where do
08:18you
08:19stand on this who do you think the uh lions or pistons in this if i had to pick i
08:24would pick the
08:24lions um if they make it a playoffs which you know they have a good chance of making the playoffs
08:29they
08:30just got to win a few games and the defense just has the hold i obviously trust in the offense
08:35you
08:35know they can score as many points as anyone else in this league is can the defense get timely
08:39stops or play complimentary enough to get the ball back whether it's a turnover or like i said a
08:44timely stop and that happens in the nfl playoffs like the commanders when they beat the lions that
08:49year they had a really good game coupled with you know golf throwing all those picks and the lines
08:54had those injuries i think that's easier to do i'm not saying it's going to happen but i think
08:58that's easier to do than the pistons having to beat maybe a better team than them in a seven game
09:03series where you really have to prove it and the east i don't agree with that one text i don't
09:07know
09:07what he meant like the east is softer than nfc or just eases weaker than last year because i think
09:11the east got better with lebron james with yannis moving to miami the knicks won the championship you
09:17got you know the celtics are still a force there's just kawaii leonards in toronto that's that's a lot
09:23of competition for the pistons and i don't think they'll be bad but they got they got more resistance
09:27i think than if the lions made the playoffs 248-539-9797 there is a question that dan campbell has
09:34to answer
09:35gator you asked it in your show sheet is it wise or foolish we'll get to that today at 120
09:41it's
