Brad Holmes is currently in his second offseason with the Detroit Lions and most believe he is on the right track to building a team that will contend on a regular basis.
On Friday, former NFL GM Thomas Dimitroff dropped a ‘The GM Journey” podcast episode from when he was joined by Holmes.
During the episode, Holmes discussed his hiring process and his beliefs about how a leader should run a team, among a plethora of other things.
“Thomas heads to Detroit to speak with newly minted GM Brad Holmes. Thomas and Brad share a unique experience in that they both graduated from Director of College Scouting to the GM chair.”
Here is the full episode, we will break it down further in some upcoming articles.
Sannes’ Win Total Projections: 5 Bets to Make Based on Opening 2022 Win Totals
It’s a betting bonanza kind of week. We had the women’s basketball national championship last night with the men on tap Monday.

We could ignore these for a bit until the non-NFL sports start to chill out. But then we’re missing out on — potentially — the softest numbers we’ll get all year. We want to pepper these before the market grinds them into efficiency.

As a note, I omitted the Seattle Seahawks over 5.5 (-130) because my numbers are currently assuming DK Metcalf will return. A trade there would make their projection much lower than its current mark of 6.7.
