TNF Kickoff: anyone else a little concerned?

I think the Lions will win the NFC North and maybe a playoff game or two.  They looked very good the last couple months of last year going 8-2 in their last 10 games.  They kicked our ass and the Packer's and Bears twice each during that stretch.We'll see how it plays out, but the Vikes aren't going to be "gifted" the NFCN crown this season.

So, how’s the fishing been this season Happy…?  B)

Keepers!

Gotta love those “football smallies” @HappyViking!!!  B) is that Cormorant?

No Jones, no Kelce. That's like the Vikings without Jefferson and Hunter. I know, Mahomes. But Lions could easily win this.

I added some money to bet on individual games this year for the first time ever. This might be a good one to bet the money line.

Meh...

I already put my $ on the Chiefs...

If that's the case, I'm definitely going with the Lions.

Betting the favorite doesn't seem to be worth the effort. Now, I'm new at this so it's very possible I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, but it looks like if I bet $50 on the Lions I win $90. If I bet $50 on the Chiefs I win $20.

If that's the case, I'm definitely going with the Lions.

Thought this was interesting...

Its a win....a sloppy win with a gifted pick 6 and horrible play by the Chiefs WRer core, but a win nonetheless. Still a tough place and team to beat on the road.

Put another way, if you bet $50 on the Lions you lose $50. If you bet $50 on the Chiefs you win $20  :p

Lol and I'm not...

An early Xmas gift from the Chiefs offense to the Lions.

But I'll give the Kitties credit, not an easy place to win.  

Kelce means an awful lot to that team.
