DETROIT is NOT a playoff team

And your damn right its a betting forum and when i'm ready to throw a bet down you will know it.   Trouble is its idiots like you who throw out stuipid

comments that make absolutely no sense that ruin it.

No they won't. 

Do people in real life ruin it for you as well with their stupidity? Or do you just carry on without the tantrum? 

They better be worried about every team they face in the NFC.  The Lions are capable of getting knocked off by Vikings, Eagles, Packers, Rams, Commanders, and Bucs or Falcons.  That 5.8 Yards per Play they're yielding on defense has a way of catching up to a team in the post-season.   I'm not saying they can't get to the Super Bowl, I'm just saying they also could lose to a number of teams.

I see a position on their team they should be nervous about.

There is another saying I heard a few times in sports

You can't shine sh*t. Humm 

They are the best team In The Nfl.

Have another drink

Once RB Monty comes back, no matter what happens on D. For them, the Lions O. are among a very select group in NFL history. They might just be at the top of that group if they need to score 50 points to win a game. They can, the way they are coached and the huge plays they get from their RBs also.

No D. can prevent them from scoring 30 points esp. at Home when they push the petal so any team looking to beat the lions in Det. (which i believe they will be LIONS 41-VIKES 30 on sunday) throughout the playoffs better have 38 points min. on their point target scale + that most likely might or might only get them a cover no less.

Last year Dallas was the number one scoring team in the NFL.

C70 with all due respect yes Dallas was a very good O. in 23 but not to the caliber of the Lions esp. at RB. This O is nearly unstoppable as they rarely punt. Yes Dallas was good on O. but not nearly this good like the generationally good the Lions are Esp. as they know they have to be like that considering their D. shortcomings. One almost gets the feeling when they score in the high 30's or into the 40's they are capable of a whole lot more which is insane as the only other O. or 2 i can think of that was like that was the Rams for a few years 99+ + Peyton Mannings Colts in the Mid 2000's.

What if their offense has an off day?

Yes fair Q. well DET. will most likely lose. A Def. will have to have a night something like the texans D. had ag. Goff with 5 int. (DET. won anyway) or slow down their O. like BUF did a few weeks ago early in the game while scoring a bunch of points themselves then hang on as DET. scores a Blizzard of points late only to fall short. I think the best way to slow down their scoring is red zone D. Unfort. the teams that usually have great Off. red zone success are teams who run the ball well + don't have to throw much in that constricted area + the Lions are perfect for that type of play along with it being 4 down territory mostly which yes can at times can bite Campbell in the rear. Make the Lions go 2-5 something like that + only allow them 1 longer TD so red zone is not involved. Hey this team is not unbeatable + if their Off. has an off day they likely will get beat but the problem with that is even if they have an off day for part of the game they can still storm back like an arena league team + still put up 40 om pts. like they did vs Buf. Slow ball control like a bunch of 6 7 8 min. drives vs that lion D. to keep their Off. off the field along with good red zone Def. + a few breaks like tipped balls, fumble recoveries ect. + some bad Campbell 4th down dec. + Def. stops at that critical moment are a good recipe to beat Det. but easier said then done.

What happens if their offense has a bad day?

What happens if Goff gets hurt in the Sunday night game? What happens if they lose sunday night and go on the road as a 5 seed? You don't seem to think ahead at what could happen and are completely stuck on what has happened. 

Oh ya they are done like dinner if Goff gets hurt although that can be said of every playoff team having #1 go down. Also going on the Road in Jan. to win 3 games is a very heavy lift also. Sunday night is monumental for both teams. No scenario in the NFL motivates players + coaches alike then a Bye + the implications surrounding that. For both teams it will be no prisoners taken trying to achieve that gem of a situation

@C-70Blues and Lookingtowin.

Great points and views from both of you guys. love it.

You know what would be awesome Covers? If these two gentlemen can make a wager on the spot and we would be able to chime in and join in.

Use any book that would best fit all parties.

Make these kind of conversations more ideal and look forward to battles with units and actual bragging rights? any thoughts anyone?

Covers web programmers and non-coders, is this possible? 

Actually, seven teams prevented them from scoring 30 points this season.

Some of the comments on this board keep me coming back -  

if they go on the road in the playoffs- take the over - there will be 60 points min scored.  Don’t think Vegas will set the O/U that high 

When is the last time a 14 win team HAD to win their final game to get the number one seed?
