Lions in the playoffs.

[inkfreq]

Pack 3-4 away from lambeau. But bucs are terrible and Gerald McCoy on ir now. I'd love it easy but if we have to kick the Packers teeth in one more time so be it

I stopped betting sports years ago, because I actually had a gambling problem I had to deal with.

But if I were a betting man, I'd be looking at the spread in that game. Anything under 14 points, and I would be making a large bet.

This is going to be a blowout. Tampa Bay is a terrible team right now, and nothing is working right. They are bad on offense. They are bad on defense. They are bad on special teams.

Green Bay will be looking to fire back after losing one to the Bills they never should have lost.

42-10 wouldn't surprise me a bit. Green Bay will put their foot on the accelerator pedal, and they won't hit the brakes. They need to pile on the point and rack up a huge score to get their minds right and their confidence level up before Detroit and the playoffs.

Ink. TB is going to cover 14. I'm glad you don't gamble.

Couldn't disagree more bro. This is gonna be a bloodbath. They will beat Tampa the way they beat Minny earlier this year.

The Bucs better bring tire irons and brass knucks, cause it's not gonna be a fair fight.

12 of the Bucs 15 games have been decided by 10 points or less. Granted they got smashed in two and we beat them by 17 in the third, but the Bucs actually are competitive.

Agreed. And the reason I have no confidence in a week 17 win is that Green Bay and New England are two teams that are just a cut above right now.

Rodgers can punch any defense in the throat right now, and a bad game last week doesn't change that in my mind.

Definitely ARod can and I'm sure is planning on going off on the Bucs. But they are worse on the road and two TDs and a okay at best Defense sets the Bucs up for a nice back door cover. We need to get Elrod in on this. Long story short I took the Bucs and the points, but I'm shitting bricks based on the scenario you laid out which we all know is very possible.

 

[inkfreq]

20-3.. I honestly expected a bigger blowout than that.

 

[cheeno]

You win Ink. Not quite the blow out but no offense for the Bucs for my back door cover.

The Tampa D hung in better than I expected by far. Rodgers has been a surgeon of late, just slicing teams apart.

Our best hope next week is for Dom to stomp on him.

Always cover your back door.

You don't want anything sneaking in there.

Good advice.

So it kinda looks like we either win next week and get a bye week and a home playoff game (Not happening) or we lose and probably finish as the 6th seed and play Dallas on the road.

Speaking of gambling, the Lions open as 7.5 dogs to GB in Vegas. The Lions have only beat two teams with a winning record this year, one was GB. Come on Lions 1991 is calling.

I don't gamble but if I knew a bookie I'd be all over picking GB at 7.5.

The Lions will embarrass themselves again this week with the only difference being that it will be in a losing effort. Ross will have yet again another crucial mistake but they won't be able to overcome it. Against Minnesota he drops a pass that hits him right in the chest which would have led to a TD and a two score lead to put the game away. Yesterday it's the inexplicable muff (what did he expect the ball to do if he refused to catch it but doesn't wanna get out of the way of it?) and in GB he will probably fumble on a return or tip a ball into a defenders hands. Any bets on what his game changing mistake will be?

 

[Mitchrapp]

I suspect Matt Stafford will lead another 4th quarter comeback, lol.

BTW, good thing you don't bet anymore Ink. Cowboys smoked Indy Just smoked.

Dallas does not scare me. They are perennial playoff choke artists, and are always better in name than in actual production.

You mean the Detroit "I never win in the players, ever" Lions doesn't get scared by Dallas the choke artists?

I believe Dallas won a playoff game last time they made it. However they have been looking pretty solid since the embarrassing loss to Eagles on thanksgiving.

Dallas scared me a bit, their O-line is pretty solid and I think they have the best chance at neutralizing our D-line. I still don't fully trust this secondary, they have been exposed a bit when the D-line isn't getting pressure.

To me this game comes down to that battle. Their O-line vs our D-line. Whoever wins that wins the game. I can see it going either way.

Unless we win in GB it could be in their place. So I think it's more than their ol vs our dl.
