They'll also punish him if doesn't go for it.

The obvious path to the SB for the Lions is to go for it and not miss.

Let's say Chiefs and Lions win on Sunday.

Has a season ever started and ended with the same 2 teams playing each other?

This

The lions only path to victory (and to be clear, this is not an unlikely path) is Campbell floors the gas pedal and gets there enough times to keep the Niners chasing and Bork flustered

Any deviation from that aggression and the lions are ****ed

14 instances of teams meeting in regular season and the super bowl, but never in the first week.

lol acting like the lolions only path to victory is playing perfectly + being super aggro + running hot + etc, as if there isn't a ~50% chance that bork just pukes all over his dick or whatever. i mean, am i the only one who didn't see the packers game? for example

I’m not saying they have to play perfectly or run hot, I’m saying they MUST be super aggro. It got them this far and they can’t afford to abandon that on the road against a theoretically better team

Plus it’s gonna be 72 and sunny

I give the lions a decent shot at winning this game, i by no means think is gonna be a pushover, but if Campbell is punting or kicking field goals on 4th and 3 or less I like the 9ers chances

sure. campbell has been aggro all year afaik, doubt he'd change now, but you never know until a guy is put to the test. i assume he'll keep going for this year at least and/or until it stops working

predicting goff has opportunity to take a knee, and after initially being pensive, subsequently lowers mouth towards patella in a display of solidarity

Zero chance he blinks. Zero.

Sorely lacking in free verse or something tho.

Don't understand why they couldn't have a game today and a game tomorrow.

Exactly my thought when I woke up this morning.

Now I don't have a reason to day drink. 😒 Then I remembered I don't need a reason to day drink. 🤪

They "could". They just choose not to. Probably for the same reason why they don't play the SuperBowl on Saturday.

Was gonna bet both underdogs.. Bookie is all in on purdy, toughest player prop odds. Thinking about it, his qbr is pretty high. Im scared... can't let Purdy wreck me. Just going with chiefs

Purdy can have a big game. It's the Lions after all.

But if the 9ers win, then you hammer the O on his interception prop in the SuperBowl.

I preface this by saying I wish the lions fans no ill will and if the Niners don’t win it all I hope detroit does, so don’t @ me or hate me for this

I was nervous about this game but then I heard the last 12 hours of pundit hype on the lions train by espn et Al and realized nobody has a good reason why the lions will trainwreck the 9ers (seriously that’s the movement) other than Purdy sucked against Green Bay

Purdy was by no means great except for a couple throws and the final drive, but goff was just as bad. A couple of dropped end zone picks by the Bucs completely ignored and the Niners ain’t the Bucs

This will be an interesting game

What are they supposed to say? "49ers -7 easy, don't waste your Sunday watching the game. Go out and do some stuff with your family!"

They are in the business of selling the games, no matter if they seem one-sided or not.
