F--- the Lambs, Redskins(I REFUSE to call them The Commanders) and Eagles, it's the Lions time to shine because they are getting healthier too. #1 seed for a reason. If they are not in the SB, I'm not watching.

It's going to be Commanders @ Rams for the NFCCG.
Jayden Daniels is good but he hasn't exactly been playing good defenses the last several weeks. The Lions, even with all the injuries, are still a top 5 defense (DVOA). They just got Anzalone back and they're getting Rakestraw back too. I think they have a good shot at stopping the Commanders run.

The Lions beat the Rams in week 1 and even though that was forever ago I wouldn't count them out just yet in that match up. However, I don't think the Lambs get passed the Eagles.

NFCCG will be Lions vs. Eagles in Detroit.

Are they currently a top 5 defense or do you mean for the year? They've had some rough outings lately, giving up 30+ in three of their past five, and Caleb Williams threw for 334 yards in one of the other two. Purdy put up 377 on them in the Niners best offensive output of their season. Pearsall went 8-141-1 in that game, which is nearly double the yards that he had in his next best game.

Daniels had five TD passes against Philly's #1 ranked defense in a win just three weeks ago. I'm not worried about him having an off game.

Oh geez, not the "pull for the NFC West" card. Puke.

Do you, but you couldn't pay me to pull for the Rams. F the NFC West. Seattle is the only team that matters.

That's fair. I'm not really pulling for the Rams or any team since the Hawks aren't in it. But I will say there are teams I want to lose a game.

DVOA is based on the season as a whole true, but knowing the attrition the Lions have had you would think their late season performances would pull this number down but it really hasn't.

As for Daniels numbers vs the Eagles his top receiver was Ekeler (8 for 89) and Ertz (6 for 47) which means they were attacking the Eagles LBs with a lot of short and medium passes. I'm not sure they're going to have the same success like that with the Lions as the their injuries were more with the front than the back end.

They would have destroyed us last week if they had cared enough to.
We beat the shit out of them the first time. They didn't do shit. They were outplayed the entire game and had under 300 yards total offense. We lost because Meyers missed an extra point. They didn't out play at all, not even a little bit.
