Instead of Monday Night Football we’re going to go to one more key matchup we’ve got Saturday Night Football in the NFL and it’s such a tasty matchup yes I I Ed that word uh on purpose Lions plus five and a half you know I believe this

Was six and a half when it opened it might have been six kicked up to six and a half now it’s plus five and a half I think this is a more appropriate number six and a half was way too much in my opinion uh we’ve got a total of 52 and a

Half I believe this is the highest total on the entire week 17 slate wouldn’t surprise me if this kicks up to 53 to be honest with you Mike McClure we were on HQ on Monday night and we talked about this game specifically share with everyone your thoughts or maybe your

Your thoughts have been modified since then yeah so I lean the Dallas side here uh it’s not something I’m electing to play a ton however I will include the Cowboys money line in a parlay this week uh I think they definitely end up winning this game I think bouncing back

For them is going to be significantly correlated to playing at home indoors in the controlled environment now Detroit is a team that ALS Al enjoys playing indoors in that controlled environment but I I think it’s a good bounceback spot for Dallas uh if you want to isolate their team total and in the

First half of the game I think that’s fine as well uh on the Detroit side you know they capturing the number one seed is very very much a long shot remaining healthy very much the goal uh now that they’ve clenched I personally think there’s a little bit of a hang over from

Them clenching a playoff spot uh in this particular uh matchup here so I’m actually a little low on Detroit I made the number 6.5 my total is exactly 52 um so relatively close to where it was opening If This Were to get down to four and a half at some point then I

Would be interested in the cowboy side uh I don’t think we see it though I think it’s going to mostly hover in kind of this dead range at five five and a half so if I were to play it it would unfortunately be a live play not a a

Pregame play on Dallas yeah I I like the lines here I mean I understand the the splits especially when in and Mike you you kind of chronicled this on Monday on HQ but the splits not when it comes to Jared golf because I mean I think those

Splits are a little less relevant since he gets to play in a dome and Danny I’m coming to you next but Dax splits specifically the Cowboys I mean they definitely poured on at home but that I I don’t think that means necessarily that Detroit can’t keep Pace with them

Especially with what I think is a dual threat running game and passing game but there are a lot of sharp people that just think the Cowboys are going to blow out the line Lions here Danny what say you oh and by the way before you open up

About this Lions Cowboys game we’ve got about a 5 to one ratio actually even greater maybe six to one at for those who are watching versus those who have hit the like button let’s try to get that to like a 5050 two to1 split if we can everybody hit the like button while

Danny is telling us who he likes the Cowboys or the Lions well the debate about the spread is super interesting so I’ll go to the total and give you guys another take there totals that have been above 50 or more in the last years 27

And 12 to the under it’s a 69% rate and getting in front of the under or you know backing the under in this game sounds like a terrifying Prospect but early money is coming in on the over not surprisingly right like C mentioned dome stadium Cowboys at home where their

Offense thrives golf indoors much more efficient than Outdoors yet the total came down from 53 and a half to 52 and a half so maybe some reverse line movement in the market I kind of want to see what happens but it feels like everyone’s going to bet the over yet the total’s

Coming down so weirdly enough due to the trends and perhaps a perception there’s going to be more scoring than there actually might be in this uh important game for both clubs I lean under funny enough yeah I I think the under is probably the sharp play here I know uh

Rick fun Canan uh by the way that’s just the the most elite uh last name Rick and I know you’re a big supporter of this show I know you’ve already hit the like button uh he likes the Cowboys team total over 28 and a half you know

Normally I might be on that side but Danny to your point I’m starting to feel like to me if d wants to win this game I think they have to establish the run I think they have to keep Dallas off of the field and I think David Montgomery

And jir Gibbs go a long way into covering this spread perhaps getting this total down from let’s say 52 and a half to like hitting the under maybe a maybe 47 total points you know that that kind of thing a 27 to 20 uh maybe like a

24 to 23 type game so that’s probably what I’m looking at as well
