I loved Dan Campbell from the very beginning. I wasn't positive it would work. It's one thing to be a leader of men, it's another to get the right guys around you that will listen, heed, and walk the walk. That introductory press conference, I remember watching and thinking "this dude is awesome!!" He spoke directly to all of us. He knew his audience, and it wasn't the talking heads on ESPN who made fun of it. I thought that if he got the right guys from Holmes, that this could turn into something special. My faith wasn't unwavering though. The closest I came to not believing was when they hit 1-6 in 2022, fresh off five straight losses where they lost 28-24, 48-45, 29-0, 24-6, and 31-27. I thought they needed to change something and that it might need to be Aaron Glenn who went. They canned Aubrey Pleasant instead and the rest is history still in progress. As long as I'm flaunting my own predictive success though.... In August 2022, fresh off the 3-13-1 season, I bought these AirPods, which I still have. Which is impressive in two regards: (1) that I have a working pair of AirPods that I haven't lost or broken after more than two years... And (2) that I believed, dammit!! Well, believed enough to give myself two shots at being right (I would have claimed credit last year and will definitely claim this year if the impossible becomes reality).

I think Vegas is pretty frustrated with the Lions. They’re routinely getting 80-90% of bets and are still 9-2 ATS. They're routinely blowing teams out in a league where half of all games are decided by 8 or less points. Despite the spread being >10 for a divisional Thanksgiving game against a decent Bears team, 77% of money is going to the Lions. Spreads will keep going up until the Lions can’t cover them.

A year ago, the 8-2 Lions hosted the 4-6 Packers on Thanksgiving Day. They were 7.5-point favorites, playing a first year starter in Jordan Love, who played out of his mind en route to a 29-22 Lions loss. Thursday, the 10-1 Lions will host the 4-7 Bears on Thanksgiving Day as 10.5-point favorites, playing a first year starter in Caleb Williams. Let's not allow history to repeat itself, please.
