It's the Mike Francesa podcast on the Bet Rivers Network.

Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Mike Francesa podcast on the BetRivers Network, brought to you by Casamigos Tequila.

Casamigos Tequila is brought to you by those who drink it.

We come to you on this Wednesday, what is really a football Friday on this Thanksgiving weekend,

on the Mike Francesa channel on on the Bit Rivers Network on YouTube first let me take this time on this

Wednesday to wish everybody a happy and healthy and safe Thanksgiving wherever

you're spending it whatever traveling you're doing, do it safely.

And hopefully you have a nice weekend and get to see some decent football, which will begin with a not a bad schedule for Thanksgiving.

You know, so many times through the years, we have gone through a Thanksgiving

schedule where you just had the two games and the Lions would obviously be terrible. Cowboys

might be playing a weak opponent. Maybe they were going to really just,

you know, lay over an opponent when they were real good or some of the years when they weren't

real good. Now we have the third game. Now, also we have a very different conversation because

in the past, as the lion game was a backdrop and everyone was waiting

for the Dallas game usually the lions were getting beat up by somebody might be Peyton

manning somebody put on a good show or whatever that rare game they would win in Detroit

but now the conversation tomorrow will be about whether or not this lion team is the best

team in the NFL and is clearly steamrolling to a Super Bowl.

And the question that everyone wants to answer should be answered in the affirmative.

The answer is yes.

I would expect them tomorrow.

Despite the fact the Bats have shown a little more life, they've lost five games in a row.
