What's up, friends?

We're back here on the early edge for Week 13.

Brought to you by BenMGM, make it legendary Turkey Day, just a few days away.

We've got a triple header.

We'll get into those bets, the Black Friday bets, and the rest of the Week 13 slate.

I'm here in the Florida Studios with RJ White. We've got Will Brinson, Larry Hartstein, joining us, the usual suspects. Turkey Day, just a quick, I don't know, vibe check here. Will, how we feel in about another Lions game, which we'll get to Lions Packers, the first of the Triple Heather? How are we feeling about watching the Lions the Lions and eating your turkey? I mean, there's nothing. First of all, I'm more excited about the Chiefs and the Cowboys game because it's on CBS and Paramount Plus if you didn't know. But the Lions and the Packers game, look, I love watching the Lions. My dad had knee surgery, so my uncle isn't coming over Thanksgiving every year. but every year at Thanksgiving for like the past 20 years, he's like, you know what I say?

Will, you never bet against the lions on Turkey Day.

Uncle Mill is not aware of the lions are like historically just terrible against a spread.

But more than anything, I think I'm thankful for you guys, but mostly Matthew Stafford. Oh, I'm grateful for Matthew Stafford, too. I'm back in him this week, so hopefully he pulls through, which he probably will. I'm thankful for you guys as well. Larry, like Will said, we're so used to seeing the Lions losing, but they did come off the last Thanksgiving when snapping a seven game streak. It's just fun to watch

Detroit, though, in general, isn't it? Yeah, I think we've actually got four great matchups among

Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Lions Packers, two of the best teams in the NFC, Cowboys and Chiefs,

both still heading, hunting for a playoff berth. And then Joe Burrow coming back to make that Ravens

Bengals game interesting. And then the eight and three Chicago Bears going to Philly. So I don't think you could ask for a better holiday schedule. RJ, you a turkey guy, Lions guy? Yeah, it's fun watching the Lions. Typically, you know, it's a sleepy game because they're not very good. You're getting to watch some of these backup quarterbacks that I'm sure Will can

rattle them all off by heart, you know, the guys that we have cheered for on, on Lions when we're talking about picking these games. But as I very much as a great slate, it should be fun. Well, no, I was thinking, I can't even think of the guy. But who was like the third stringer for them that ended up starting randomly and saying his name? I'll think of it, but keep going.

I'll think of it.

All right.

So we've already sort of touched on this a little. Lions are the two and a half point favorite, as you saw in the graphic there. This did open three on Sunday. So a little bit of movement there, past that key number. Like I said, they snapped the seven-game losing streak. Dan Campbell, heading into his fifth game as the Lions head coach,

one in three record in that stretch,

taken on the Packers, who took care of the Vikings without Josh Jacobs,

which was good.

How good was their defense really again?

Or was that more to say about the Vikings' offense?
