00:03text pouring in talking about the bears game last night we'll get to the lions and packers in our
00:07picks at 835 so the bears the best team the division right now they are the team that i
00:11feel most threatened by john says now hold on minnesota's undefeated yeah keep them up there
00:16for now text coming in did you see the lions opened up his favorites against the vikings next
00:22week why though uh well i think at home it's three points yeah and i there are a lot of
00:30people that
00:31don't yet have faith that kyler murray has quote-unquote figured it out or will bigger picture
00:38jim you're on this vegas hasn't figured out the lions they don't know what to do with the lions
00:43that can be a good sign if you're a glass half full person they're protecting themselves against the
00:50lions i've been saying this i think mostly off air but yeah we could lay it all out right now
00:55if you look at the odds because the lions haven't played a division game vegas has no idea what to
01:01do they're three-point favorites against green bay this week which is basically just your standard
01:05fair for being the home side no real edge esbn.com has five packer picks and five lions picks total
01:13toss-up and then even against the the best team in the division same spread lines have the same spread
01:19against green bay and minnesota that's the book saying we don't know and if you look at the odds
01:23and i think it's still this way the lions odds to finish first second third and fourth in the division
01:28because you could bet exact finish yeah it's the closest gap of any team right now it's truly nobody
01:34knows and we're about to find out but they're protecting themselves because of their potential
01:39they think there's a lot of potential in this team and they're a little bit scared that there could
01:43be shades of the teams a couple years ago that were blowing people out and were great bet people they
01:49losing their butt on them so while the offense has been explosive right they've scored over 30 points
01:55every game i don't know that i've come away from any of those games feeling like they ever found a
02:03good
02:03rhythm offensively i still feel like there is much more for this offense to be able to accomplish and
02:10maybe that's just because they haven't started fast yeah yeah another thing like you can study this in a
02:15lot of different ways they protect themselves against the rams still the rams have like the
02:19fifth best at the super bowl odds still even though two and four with all the injuries yeah like
02:23because they're scared they're gonna lose their butt on them yeah from the vegas standpoint they're
02:30looking at this lions team trying to find out make heads or tails think of the last two games the
02:34lions played the way they lost to carolina i never invoke sol but that felt same old lions right you
02:42know a patricia-esque defense get whatever you want dumb penalties self-destruct teasing you at the
02:48end only to let you down we go from sol one week to the very next week shades of their
02:542024 season where
02:55their feet are kicked up and they're blowing people out they blew out carolina even with the slow start
03:00blew out arizona even with the slow start so the the mood swings of this football team the jekyll and
03:06hyde of
03:07their last two games right and it's and it's take it with a grain of salt because it was arizona
03:12yeah
03:12and then arizona goes and beats the ramps right so what was that thing called you found that grid
03:18we talked about a few weeks ago the lions are better than the record is they're an expected team
03:23it's like a fraud meter yeah the fraud meter we should hang on to that because that you don't
03:27think vegas uses that as a tool it's just one of the thousands of tools that they use that they
03:31they'll sit back away hmm you know hmm but i always go back
03:40that that fraud meter while they finish from here out better than the vikings the vikings because
03:48they've banked wins ended up with more wins yeah we have to reset what we just did there okay in
03:54the
03:54summer kirby joseph put out the all those tweets and social media posts you know about he's going to
04:01be playing and all this stuff and and then there was the report and you responded to him you said
04:06hmm and then he responded back to you what you hmm about jim i would kill to have that as
04:12audio i
04:12would love it as a drop you actually should respond to the tiktok from the other day
04:15oh with him running around and go hmm hmm hmm what you hmm about jim
04:24tyler you join the show you're next year on 97 one tyler good morning
04:28hey good morning how you guys doing good good yeah i just want to talk a little bit about you
04:34know
04:34what it might mean to have brian branch back coming into this week and even going next week
04:38into minnesota um i don't think he solves every problem we have defensively by any means but what
04:44i do feel comfortable with is what he's going to be able to handle with that threat over the middle
04:49and that's what i saw that just absolutely destroyed us against carolina was mcmillan right
04:54over the middle and i even saw shades of it against arizona um whereas you know we definitely did a
05:00whole lot better against them i think going right over the middle is what has been the thorn in our
05:05in our side excuse me and um you know the run game i'm not too concerned about with green bay
05:10we've
05:10seen how that's been this year um but certainly the deep threats are have been a problem and i think
05:16having branch back might be able to alleviate some of that pressure off of rake and straw to be able
05:20to focus on his job let brian branch have a handle over the middle i'm excited to see curious to
05:26see
05:26what we're going to get from brian branch but fired up that they have him back at this point of
05:29the
05:30season because this is it a couple home games at home a couple home games at home duh a couple
05:34big
05:35games in division at home that's that's going to be where you're either going to make up some
05:38some ground here or you're going to sit in the cellar yeah i mean these are two huge games for
05:44the
05:44lions because right now they're sitting at three and two if they win this one they can't catch the
05:47bears right now because of the bye week and they just have one more game that they've played
05:51um but it keeps you on pace with where the bears are and you've got some catching up to do
05:57with minnesota eventually minnesota is going to take some losses you get a chance to play them
06:03next week and hand them one maybe their first one ed on a cell ed good morning hey guys real
06:10quick
06:10john i just may leave you because you probably know better i mean any guy probably know better than i
06:15do
06:16but as far as how much room we have to go uh make trades because you know in my perfect
06:22world
06:23i want vita vea i want rick woolen the cornerbacks from philadelphia and i want buda baker the safety
06:29out of arizona all three of those guys probably are going to be available on the market none of them
06:34are going to probably require even a second round pick and what do i can't remember what all the lions
06:40have saved as far as pick goes and how much room financially flexibility we have to bring
06:45some contracts like that in well they have the second most cap space available to bring guys in
06:49do you want all three or you're just saying hey pick one of the three i would love all three
06:54but but in
06:55reality i mean two of those guys you know via vea and one of those those back got bad guys
07:00i mean
07:01they'd help this team so tremendously so vita vea i don't think necessarily it that's not the biggest
07:08need i think alim mcneal and tyleek williams are playing well buda baker would love to have buda baker
07:14i don't know that arizona is ever going to sell buda baker at least not now and then reek woolen
07:21is
07:21a guy that we have talked about i think it would be great to have reek woolen and it's probably
07:25a
07:26fourth that would and if you're going to have to outbid because i know that there was one that said
07:32hey he should go to the bears for a fourth i mean brad holmes throws around third round picks like
07:37it's nobody's business so give him a third well you've also brought up zion mccollum who's mccollum
07:41who's more than a rental tampa also one in five i mean they're they're clearly in a position to sell
07:45so yeah so i mean there are guys out there that they could go add they have the cap space
07:51to do
07:52it i don't think they have the cap space to add all three of those guys but um yeah i
07:57think i mean
07:58certainly the corner position is the one that everyone is looking at text coming in says unrelated
08:04guys but there was a fun game last night for the wings vancouver's trash but the wings won a game
08:10they should win there was an eruption from the crowd after 30 plus minutes without a shot on net
