00:00Games, this is one that surprised me and no, not because I think that the Giants are decent

00:08at all this year.

00:09It surprised me because Darnold and company were able to not just win by a touchdown,

00:14they were able to put down a beating of 28 to 6 versus the Giants that came out in jerseys

00:19that looked like the Montreal Canadiens.

00:21But you tell me what you thought, because a few people, including myself, thought the

00:25Giants would at least cover the spread here.

00:28Well, if you remember on Friday night, I said, do not watch this game, it was going to be

00:32terrible.

00:33Yes.

00:34And that's what it was.

00:35It was terrible.

00:36The Giants are bad.

00:37Daniel Jones is bad.

00:39And you know, maybe I was slightly wrong about Sam Darnold.

00:42I said, you know, he's not able to maintain a wide receiver one, which is what Justin

00:46Jefferson is.

00:47And Justin Jefferson did score, but he didn't hit the over on his yardage prop.

00:51And maybe that's what we see from the Vikings this year, where they're going to be somewhat

00:56efficient on offense.

00:58Maybe they can move the ball if the matchup depends on it, but Jefferson may not be going

01:01for 100 plus yards on a weekly basis.

01:04They may rely more on Aaron Jones, who also scored, and it's going to be more of a balanced

01:08offense overall.

01:09So the actual information on this would be, okay, we can look to Sam Darnold in certain

01:14spots for yardage props.

01:15We can look to, again, we can look to Justin Jefferson for touchdown props, but may not

01:22yardage props, may not the 100 plus props that people like to go to for Jefferson, because

01:27we're not going to see this explosive offense.

01:28We have to reel it back in and adjust our expectations for his production.

01:32I love that you pointed that out because I think that is crucial to catch this guy for

01:37touchdown props.

01:38And then again, if they're spreading the ball amongst a few different targets, then the

01:41value might kind of stand with Jefferson and it might not become a Christian McCaffrey

01:44touchdown situation that it's just like stay away from.

01:47Also keeping in mind, Kevin O'Connell is not a bad play caller and he can come with a more

01:51balanced attack.

01:52So you want to protect Darnold from not hurting himself and his team.

01:56You've got Aaron Jones to help alleviate.

01:57You've got Addison when he gets healthy, and then you've got a few other leavers in there.

02:01Hopefully their tight end gets healthy too, or somebody gets back in the mix there.

02:04But great insight in terms of looking for touchdown props.

02:07They have enough guys to spread the ball amongst and maybe not touching the receiving yards

02:11for a hot minute because we don't need Darnold turning over the ball.
