We should do commentary on the parade floats. At least it would provide better action and a chance to cheer on a winner.

My pre-parade vote is Baby Yoda wins.

 

[LKP]

Lions 24 Bears 20

Lions +3
Under 41.5

Just put $$ on the game.

Under 41.5

The under should be good, I'll be surprised if both teams combine for much more than 30.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Red Rifle looks like 1990 Joe Montana?..Darnell Mooney looks like 1995 Jerry Rice.

Swift breaks 100 for 3rd game in a row.

Lions run a minimum of 6 screen passes and 3 3rd down running plays.

Bears 27
Lions 16

We have DC calling plays... fucking joke of a franchise.

41-3 Bears.

 

[tigermud]

I?m starting the lions defense today, why I have no idea I?m 3-7 though and out of the running so why not. I?m really have second thoughts though and thinking about picking up the Dolphins instead?

 

[kdp1980]

I still have no idea why the qb that started for the Lions last week is on an NFL roster or practice squad. Has the Lions organization explained this yet?

Apparently Rodgers thought he was really smart. Zzzzz he was a straight up joke last week and it?s shocking how bad our QB?s are on this team.

 

[tigermud]

I just can?t do it, dropped the Lions and switched to the dolphins

 

[tinselwolverine]

The bears really suck too. Maybe the lions can get lucky and get another tie.

 

[JScottWriter]

In Jamaica, probably won?t watch much. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
