Usually it’s the Lions offense that steals the show, but Sunday belonged to the defense. The Lions sacked Ridder 7 times in one game! That’s fucking insane. If the Lions defense keeps firing off the ball like they did against Atlanta, watch out! Green Bay Packers I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The Green Bay Packers are the best team in the NFC North. I hope you tailed my pick when I gave them out at +350 to win the division....

The Brewers will kill you so slowly that you won’t even realize you’re dead. They make almost no mistakes. They have the best 1-2-3-closer group in the league. You should respect them. I believe nearly everyone anticipated this being a horrible stretch after a big chunk of average....
