Could you imagine the size of Zeke's nose rings on that bad boy? booze would probably shit himself inside out seeing that.

If Detroit gets to the Super Bowl, is that going to be a big deal, ratings wise?

Chicago Cubs going to World Series was a big deal.

Chicago vs Detroit is a big difference. The Cubs are kind of iconic and the Lions are a laughingstock.

So, no. I'd guess not.

After the recent prime time snow games in Cleveland and Buffalo, this game looks too clean

Detroit looks like a team that's already peaked and will kind of be uneven the rest of the year, but I think as long as they get HFA they should roll through the crap ass NFC as long as they can hold Barkley to under 170 rushing.

I think Shaq has Peyton Manning beat for most commercials.

I think Shaq still has Peyton Manning beat for most commercials.
Shaq is actually likable and funny, though.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe Detroit having those 50 point games warped my perception, but neither of these teams look that scary. I certainly wouldn’t pick them over a KC or Buffalo and maybe not over Balt or Philly.

not to say Detroit can’t or won’t win it all. Just current vibes.

Too many injuries on defense

I think Detroit is a good bit better than Philly but teams that go on ridiculous runs like they did usually come back down to Earth and struggle to recapture that form.

Campbell's dumbassery is an issue in big games too.

Jerruh and Stephen as Montgomery Burns and Smithers would be mildly amusing
