The Lions are favored...

By a field goal.

My bold predictions:

Stephen Jackson scores his first, second and third touchdowns of the season.

Kevin Smith has 100 yards and/or directs another cult classic.

Matthew Stafford does not work off the baby fat.

Terrif-EYE-ing

LOL!

No Line Yet

So I can't bet on the Lions winning, only them covering the spread (which is 13.5 points). I'll check on it again tomorrow and hopefully I'll be able to keep my streak alive. In the meantime, check out this action. I had no idea these things were made public until this year and believe me you, they're a lot more fun to read and take up a lot more time than reading the blurbs your fantasy football leagues gives you.

Powers of Dedunchion

There was a line on the Detroit Lions game against the Steelers. Those betting folks must know something that ESPN isn't reporting... that they are going to lose either way. But if'n they don't, I win 42.50. At this point of the season, the most exciting thing for me is waiting to see what the odds are when they play the Rams.

We may have lost the battle, but the Stafford is far from over

Or day-to-day from over. I'll admit it, I thought this guy was a chud coming into the season. I thought they should have drafted somebody on the defensive side of the ball. I don't remember who exactly, the draft was many moons ago and I'm only marginally interested in the draft to begin with. I just like the highlight clip packages they put together of each pick.
But I firmly believe this year, just as last year, the Lions best chance to win isn't who starts which games, it's who can start double digit games. Last year they were awful, but arguably the best 0-16 team ever (arguably the only 0-16 team ever). If the same dude were under center for each game, they would've pulled out one of 16 games at least. Of this I can be certain because there is no possible way to prove me wrong, unless you own a DeLorean with the flux capacitor option. So I jumped on the Stafford bandwagon. If brotor broat starts even 13 games, I'm confident they win 2 (whoa they're half way there, whoa living on a prayer and the likelihood of them beating the Rams). Ignoring chudnicity, if he starts the entire season, he's gotta win a couple, right? It's simple maths. So I started feeling good about the season, which was amplified by them heading into a 21-21 tie at halftime with Da Bears. And then the thinkable happened. The Bears D went Terminator 2 on him.
Unless dudesy can start this week, the Leos are staring down a 1-15 season because, the way I see this playing out, they'll find a way to lose to the Rams. Unless Drew Stanton is healthy. If he starts, they win 1 million games this season. Also, they will win next week, which is why I'm gonna bet on them.

Da Bears

So the Lions are nine and a half point underdogs against the Bears this Sunday, which will translate to me winning thirty bucks, including the 10 I bet. Why am I so confident? I'm not, I just really want to say "I told you so" if they do win. Also, I think Rod Marinelli deserves to see the Lions win in person one more time.
