The Simple Handicap for Friday, December 6.

Thank you for making me a part of your morning.

I hope your Friday's off to a fantastic start as we look forward to a big weekend of football on deck.

Before we jump into the market rundown for today, just want to touch on the game last night.

And my God, what a game.

On Thursday night football, it just feels like a treat.

And it feels like something extra and special when you get a good game

between good teams and we got that for a full four quarters yesterday. Not much more needs to be

said about the Detroit Lions. This coaching staff is awesome. Head coach, offensive coordinator,

defensive coordinator. It's from the top. It's all the way down. Everybody's bought in.

Everybody's on the same page.

Not only did we see them handle the end of game in a true Dan Campbell fashion, the math

suggested that they kicked a field goal by about 4%. He clearly didn't want to give the ball back to

Jordan Love. I think about what the Cardinals did in a slightly different spot against the Vikings

last week, giving them the ball back up six, slightly different spot against the Vikings last week,

giving them the ball back up six, not trying to compare the tied game going up three to up three to up three going up six mistake. But every week we see an example of team giving the ball back

and it's just cost them. And Campbell was not letting that happen, goes for it, even though he got

burned earlier in the half trying to go for it in his own end. But not only that happen, goes for it, even though he got burned earlier in the

half trying to go for it in his own end. But not only that, how he handled the end game,

how he handled the end of the first half, making sure that the Packers didn't get another possession,

how he played that out, burning the timeouts, getting down to the goal line, scoring late,

giving a back, forcing them to take a knee. It's just they're so bought in, and it's an absolute treat to watch.
