00:00Detroit Lions hoping to continuously make history in the Motor City. The Lions last year won a

00:07division in the NFL for the first time in three decades, thus hosted a playoff game in Detroit

00:13for the first time in 30 years as well. Won a playoff game for the first time in 32 seasons,

00:19played in the NFC title game for the first time in that same span 32 years, and now Joe

00:26are the favorites to play and win a Super Bowl. That would be a first in Lions franchise history

00:35as well. Now Detroit as an NFL organization won NFL championships back in the late 1950s,

00:42but the Lions have never even played in a Super Bowl. Expected to chart uncharted territory

00:49starting tomorrow night as the one seed for the first time ever in franchise history

00:55hosting the commanders at home. An eight and a half point spread in favor of the Lions,

01:00the highest total of their vision around weekend at 55 and a hook. Based on those numbers,

01:07what are you expecting for Saturday night in the Motor City?

01:12It's so hard with these two teams here, right? Obviously Detroit at home has been,

01:19it's been a wagon, Ben. It's been an ATM machine with them scoring points. Their team totals have

01:24been great. The overs have been great. They cover numbers like nobody's business. And they're even

01:31better in the first half of games because they usually just boat race teams and that's the end

01:36of it. The thing with Washington is that I don't know any team, Ben, that I have seen ever that

01:44has won games in the final 60 seconds like Washington has with a rookie quarterback this

01:51year. I mean, it has been absolutely mind blowing how they have managed to figure out

01:58to win games, which again, you got to learn how to do that sometimes because the fact that you

02:03have a rookie quarterback that has come in in Jaden Daniels and done this where Washington has

02:10nine wins by six or fewer points, that's the most in NFL history, by the way. And they have six wins

02:18when tied or trailing in the final 10 seconds of regulation or in overtime this season. That's

02:24two more than any team since 2000, including the playoffs. Again, let me repeat that. They have six

02:31wins when tied or trailing in the final 10 seconds of the game or overtime this season, Ben. They are

02:38the definition of the cardiac kids here. I don't know how you bet against that. It feels like,

02:44man, just give me the points and let them do what they usually do in the final 60 seconds of the game.
