00:02 - The lean to me is on the Minnesota Vikings

00:05 in this game, Joe, but not one I love.

00:07 - I think they're the better coached team

00:09 heading into this ballgame.

00:10 And O'Connell, again, if he can get this team

00:13 to the playoffs, again, a Coach of the Year candidate

00:16 in terms of what he's lost,

00:17 in terms of Justin Jefferson and Kirk Cousins.

00:20 But I'll say this, I lean to the physicality as well

00:22 on the defensive side of the ball in Minnesota.

00:25 But the rushing attack did get going

00:26 in the second half of that ballgame.

00:28 Madison and Cam Akers are, in my opinion,

00:31 a pretty good one-two combo,

00:32 but they have to start the game running the football now.

00:35 I think they will run on the front seven today

00:38 of New Orleans.

00:39 Comes down to the offensive identity

00:40 for the Saints as well.

00:41 Two-wing consistent.

00:42 One week they're good in terms of the passing attack.

00:46 The next week, Alvin Kamara and all those weapons

00:48 are underutilized and they lose ballgames

00:51 that they shouldn't, Donny.

00:52 So for me, I know their defense is above average,

00:55 but I'm going with the home team.

00:56 I'm going with Dobbs.

00:58 Team has embraced them.

00:59 And again, Kevin O'Connell has found his pulse

01:02 with this team.

01:03 Now catching points at home,

01:04 I think they win the ballgame out.

01:06 - Look, I know we're not supposed to do this, right?

01:07 Like what happens if Josh Dobbs gets tackled

01:09 in that fourth down run?

01:10 What's the line look like

01:11 and where does Minnesota's season end up?

01:13 But he did make the play.

01:14 He did score a touchdown here,

01:15 which is why I think I got value this weekend here

01:17 on the New Orleans Saints.

01:18 If it's under two and a half,

01:19 which it is right now with the Fandul Sportsbook,

01:20 I'm gonna take that.

01:21 Because I do think the Saints overall are a better team.

01:23 I know a little bit more what I'm getting at a car now.

01:25 We're a couple weeks removed from that injury.

01:27 The guys played well.

01:28 Also, I like Taysom Hill to score

01:29 an anytime touchdown this game.

01:30 Whenever they get inside the five yard line,

01:32 apparently, Derek Carr is fine with leaving the field.

01:34 So the other guy can throw touchdown passes,

01:36 catch touchdown passes,

01:38 and/or run for touchdowns at this point.

01:40 I just think for my money here,

01:42 New Orleans is the better football team here.

01:43 I'm not answering questions at the quarterback position

01:46 like I think I am with Dobbs.

01:47 And I love with Dobbs.

01:48 He's a consummate professional.

01:50 We'll be in the league for another 10 years

01:51 just showing like, hey guys,

01:52 I'm willing to learn on the fly

01:53 and be able to help you with a pinch.

01:54 But it's the Saints.
