00:01The Lions are simply hoping that this is a game on the schedule
00:05that they would have assumed would be one of the more easy tasks for them.
00:09They're five-and-a-half-point favorites this week.
00:11My temptation was to go back to the team I picked to win last week
00:15and lost again in Arizona, but I just couldn't get there.
00:20The Lions, to me, Joe, I don't understand.
00:23There's only one way I could look to this game,
00:24and it would be back to Arizona.
00:26I don't care who it is.
00:27I mean, I can't believe that the Lions could be five-and-a-half-point favorites
00:30over anyone.
00:31They're really not playing great football,
00:34but I know Arizona's playing for nothing.
00:36They're playing for a draft pick now.
00:38Maybe it'll be Jeremiah Smith.
00:39Maybe it'll be Tony or someone else.
00:41I mean, obviously, this is a transition year for them,
00:44but my faith in Detroit is low.
00:48I think at the end of the season, they could be 9-8 or 8-9 or 10-7
00:52or something like that, but what do you make of this point spread here, Joe?
00:57I'm going to keep this simple, Craig.
00:59Last week on the in-game live show as we were heading into Sunday Night Football,
01:03my favorite bet beyond a shadow of the doubt
01:05was Ted Rowe McMillan over the 71-and-a-half receiving yards
01:09because we have seen that this secondary cannot stop anybody.
01:13Garrett Wilson went over his props.
01:16We saw Ted Rowe get that 71-and-a-half by the second quarter.
01:19It was unbelievable.
01:21And now you're having Goff on the road again,
01:23and I understand it's not bad weather, but on the road, Goff is a different version.
01:26It's QBR drops, passer percentage drops.
01:29Everything drops there.
01:30The average touchdowns per game drops significantly, believe it or not.
01:35So the one thing I think you can bet on here between the Arizona Cardinals
01:39who don't tackle, they're the worst tackling team in the NFL by every metric,
01:43along with the secondary of the Lions who can't seem to guard anybody,
01:46let's take the over with the 54-and-a-half.
01:48Let's just grin and bear it, take the over here.
01:51You have incredible talent on this field like Jameer Gibbs and Amon Ross and Brown
01:55and the big playmaking ability of Jameson Williams.
01:58And on the flip side, you've got Trey McBride.
02:00You've got Jeremiah Love, who's healthy enough to play in this game
02:02after dealing with some ankle injuries from last week
02:04and kind of soldiering through in practice, but he is active for this game.
02:08And of course, Michael Wilson, which is, look,
02:11I don't care what happens with Marvin Harrison.
02:12We've seen Michael Wilson as the guy.
02:14Going back to last year, it's very simple.
02:16Why are we overthinking it over 72-and-a-half receiving yards?
02:20It's plus 170 for him to score a touchdown in some markets.
02:22At least it was on Friday.
02:23I'm not sure what it was today now,
02:24but Trey McBride plus 115 to score a touchdown on this one.
02:28Amon Ross, 78-and-a-half.
02:30Like all these numbers are very achievable,
02:32and I don't see a lot of unders for a lot of things in this game.
02:35I'm going to take the over and stay away from the side.
02:39It does feel like they made this trade,
02:41and obviously they signed Wilson to that extension this offseason,
02:44but it really does open up that door for him the rest of the season,
02:48along with McBride.
02:49I mean, those guys could put up some huge, huge numbers the rest of the way.
02:53I mean, those guys could put up some huge numbers on the side of the side of the side of
02:53the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side
02:53of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the
