All right, so I want to switch to lions and Ravens, and this is really, really, really exciting because they haven't been six and one since 1956. I did not stutter.

0:13.0

But Wojo's graduation year, wasn't it? Probably. Sounds about right. Or the last time he wrote something critical about you of him. So listen, let me do this.

0:22.0

I think there are two declarative statements I can make about this game. One of them is this. If you go on the road and get to six and one, you will have gone two Kansas City, two Lambo, two Tampa and then two Baltimore and swept the board.

0:42.0

Four for four on the road. That is exceedingly difficult. If you win this game, you will move to six and one, no matter what happens across the league, you will be tied for the league's best record, and then you get to dunk on the Raiders on a long week and go to seven to one.

1:00.0

If you win this game, you are absolutely a true Super Bowl contender declarative statement one. If you win this game, you are San Francisco, you are Philadelphia, you are a true Super Bowl candidate out of the NFC.

1:17.0

Declarative statement two. You're not winning this game Sunday.

1:23.0

This is the end of the road for the good times. You're still damn good, but you got to be an absolute wagon to go on the road to Baltimore to keep doing this to go four for four on the road to just keep the vibes going. It's hard, man. Teams don't go 16 and one.

1:40.0

You can be elite, but you don't win every week evidence. Rico's team lost the PJ Walker last week. Bleep happens.

1:49.0

So I feel like this is kind of one of those league games. You don't have the heartbeat of your team in David Montgomery. We're going to get Gibbs back. Let's see what that's worth, but you're going to take on a Baltimore team that analytically speaking is top five in offense and top five in defense.

2:06.0

I just think it is kind of one of those games for you. You know what? We're still hell of a good team, but in order to win this game, you got to be Super Bowl good, and I'm not ready to go there yet, which declarative statement do you buy more?

2:23.0

That if you win, you are absolutely a Super Bowl team or despite as good as I think the team is, they're not winning Sunday.

2:32.0

I vote yes on prop one and no one prop to be careful with that.

2:37.0

Here's in Mike, we talked about this earlier. I've been a guy like most fans this season that I watch this team keep winning and watching, you know, Jared golf keep having great games.

2:49.0

And I always keep saying to myself, well, I just got to see it one more time. Oh, I got to see it against Baltimore. Oh, I got to see golf do it again on the road. Oh, I got to see this happened again. Right. Just one more time. I want to see it one more time.

3:00.0

I'm at the point now. I don't need to see anything anymore. I already think this team is a legit Super Bowl contender.

3:10.0

What that being said, I don't think this isn't easy. This is certainly not an easy game. This is going to be the first probably true road game.

3:18.0

This team is faced. Arrowheads a tough place to play, but when you look up and there's 15,000 Lions fans make you make you feel a little bit better.

3:26.0

When you go to Tampa and it's probably 50, 50 Lions fans makes you feel a little bit better. Baltimore is one of those places that it's it's intense. It is hostile.

3:37.0

You feel like you're truly going into enemy territory. I don't I would assume there's still going to be a good amount of traveling fans at this game, but it's not going to be anything like what we saw.

3:47.0

In Green Bay and certainly not Tampa Bay. So I do think it's going to be a tough game, but I've seen enough from this team.

3:54.0

I've seen enough from this defense. I've seen enough from Jared Goff this year consistently to say.

4:01.0

This is a good football team. And if you're the good football team that I think you are, this is a game you find a way to win.
