Meanwhile, attended my first Red Wings game in 6 years last night.
Little Casers Arena was sold out.
The Wings were basically a dead side, when Anaheim scored 3 goals in the first period.
Ultimately, they won 4-3, with all 3 wings goals coming off the power play.
Anaheim I believe was over a 250 dog, and the total was 6 shaded to the under.
Still, the Wings made a game of it and it was exciting.

Vikings are 3 behind Lions with 3 left but they pretty much control their Destiny's Child. Win out and Cowboys beat Lions at homedog where they are unbeaten, they got the Oliver North. I'd say no chance because Vikings have shit backup qb's but Lions have been inconsistent enough to give them a chance. Similar to Miami-Boston series. If Lions don't take them out this week, probably comes down to last game.

Lions hold their own destiny. They have an unbelievable opportunity to hold the #2 seed if they can beat Dallas on the road Dec 30.
I believe they will split their games vs Minnesota.

Yes, it's getting more expensive to go to Lions games.
The crazy thing is there was no communication from the Lions about this increase at all. When they sucked, there was always a letter trying to plead with people to keep their tickets, they are doing everything they can to win, etc.
This was the communication:

Congrats.

Huge pressure on this Lions team. One mistake, Wildcard, Division, or beyond and season kinda a waste. Homers will disagree that this season was about getting out of the cellar and establishing momentum, but make no mistake, Lions org is a 'Loser' or until they do something astonishing, will always be 'Losers.' Winning the division, then a playoff game, only to get bounced.....not good enough. Tough ask...

In any of these games, you need to play a perfect game, Minny didn't do that, but still had their chances. Lions D stepped up big time when needed.

So important Lions beat Boys. 2nd seed but also avoid San Fag until the NFC championship. It will be epic if Lions go to the Super Show on a last second fg against the 49ers. I have a vision of them showing Monte Clark praying in 1983 right before the kick in 2024. Maybe Monte's prayer will finally be answered.

I think the Lions have trouble down in Dallas this Saturday night. 6 to 6.5 dogs, total is 53.5

Maybe?
Detroit Lions fans have waited three decades for a home playoff game, so what's another week?
One day after clinching their division with a victory over the Minnesota Vikings, the Lions' path to the NFC's top seed, and the first-round bye that comes along with that, became increasing realistic when the Baltimore Ravens pounded the San Francisco 49ers into submission on Monday night.
The 49ers, who still hold the No. 1 spot by virtue of a conference record tie-breaker, fell into a three-way tie for the best record in the NFC with the Lions and Philadelphia Eagles with Monday's loss. If the three teams were to remain tied through the remainder of the regular season, the 49ers will get the bye.
The path for the Lions to secure the bye is to definitively overtake the 49ers in the standings. And the most obvious scenario for that to become reality would require the Lions to win their final two games — on the road against the Dallas Cowboys and at home vs. the Minnesota Vikings — combined with the 49ers dropping one of their two remaining matchups.
San Francisco has a strong chance of rebounding next week when they go on the road to battle struggling Washington, but a season finale against the Los Angeles Rams looms large. They're one of the NFL's hottest teams, having won five of their past six games to close in on their own playoff berth.
If both the Lions and 49ers win their two remaining games, the Lions would get the NFC's No. 2 seed, ahead of the Eagles, by virtue of a tie-breaker. That means the Lions would be guaranteed to host a second playoff game at Ford Field if they are able to advance out of the opening, Wild Card round.
At worst, with their 11-4 record, the Lions can't finish below third in the conference standings. Still, that means they'd have to go on the road if both they and the No. 2 seed win their opening postseason matchup.
No. 1 seed in the NFC and first-round bye more realistic for Lions after 49ers' loss

Stafford can beat SF. Eagles will be tougher.
I jumped on Dallas minus 6 as its already heading to 6 1/2 several places. Dallas is a much better team at home; they actually played a pretty good game in Miami. Detroit is significantly worse on the road, as is Goff. Expect minus 7 by game time.
But that's only part of the equation. It's a terrible spot for Detroit; fresh off securing their first divisional title in 30 years, they are entitled to catch their breath. Playing for seeding? I've got news for you; nobody plays for seeding. Playing for the playoffs is one thing; but most athletes are not short on self confidence and believe their abilities (for right or wrong) can always overcome. Playing for a better seed just isn't a motivator.

I would agree with you Valuist, this will be a let down spot for Detroit, aka, when Dallas went into Buffalo and was a complete no show.
Congratulations to you Lions fans. It's been a long time coming. I remember during the Barry Sanders days, the Silverdome was considered the loudest stadium in the NFL. Detroit has die hard fans and a legit HFA when the team is good.
