Fair enough. I despise ESPN (and whatever channel Skip is on, Fox Sports?). I stop for coffee often in the morning and the place I go to will have ESPN on with GET UP!!!!! (not sure why they have to yell at me) and I see the "panel" and want to barf.

Only thing good about those shows is the token hot chicks.

I'm all in on Purdy for DFS tomorrow. Either he craps the bed and I get to shove it down ethbtc's throat, or he goes nuclear and I'm rich.

The ultimate win/win.

Divisional round average viewers:
Ravens - Texans: 31.8mil
49ers - Packers: 37.5mil (most watched Saturday TV program since 1994 winter olympics Nancy Kerrigan vs. Tonya Harding)
Lions - Bucs: 40.4mil
Bills - Chiefs: 50.4mil (most watched divisional round playoff game ever)

Personally I'd prefer Saturday/Sunday too. It just doesn't make sense for the NFL.

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

I can't say that I have encountered anyone who thinks that the Loins will wreck the Niners, but then again I really don't watch or listen to talking heads.

The markets sure don't think that.

I don't think anybody serious thinks it. Detroit has been terrific against bad defenses, and good on defense against bad offenses. Problem for them is that the Niners aren't either. They aren't going to stop Bork/CMC/etc, so there's going to be a ton of stress on the Lions offense to keep pace.

If the line were Niners -6.5 I'd take that all day long, hypothetically. I'd pass if it's on the other side of the 7 unless I was emotionally hedging.

It's the worst. Other observations.....I think last year the 2 high shell became a thing. So teams like the Chefs, Bills, couldn't just throw bombs all the time. I was watching NFL live and the panel said the D is daring you to "run them out of it." The host (token bimbo and former Miss Florida) asked what that meant. Le sigh.

I also don't miss BIG MEN BALLIN!!!!!!! with the uber hilarious Marcus Spears.

Nor do I miss the ultra WOKE around the horn.

Can't believe people pay for that garbage.

RANT OVER

I'm guessing that fly left with kneecaps intact.
Perhaps covered in Brylcream but intact.

It must suck to have to limit your sports media content to Clay Travis.

Packers struggled early in the season with a first time starting QB but were 6-2 in their last 8 games and ran a train on Dallas, up by 4 TDs before they took their starters out on D and allowed 2 pity TDs at the end. People underestimating how tough of a matchup Love/GB was and how bad Goff is at QB against good defenses, Niners by a million.

Nah. I barely believe in wearing jerseys. I certainly won’t wear one of someone younger than I am

Do you mean 52% of money bet? The line wouldn't make much sense if only 52% of bets are on the Lions with all the big money bets on the 49ers (if the latter is the case). Doesn't really make a difference if there's one million $1 bets or one $1mil bet.
