00:0049ers five and a half point favorites though. I mean, this seems like a pretty big overreaction

00:08off the win last night at Minnesota. And I'm not saying that Sam Darnold is the best quarterback

00:14in the universe and they did play one of the worst teams in the NFL in the Giants, but

00:19I feel like this may end up being a close game. How about you?

00:22Yeah, for sure. You know, we know how this works. Week one, everyone overreacts. We think certain

00:26teams are better than they are. Other teams are worse than they are. And then week two,

00:30we have a little correction and people go, hey, wait a minute. I thought the Panthers were going

00:34to go 0-17. How come they just beat the Chargers who looked awesome in week one? These things

00:40happen all the time. Now, do I think it's going to happen here? I don't. I thought the Vikings

00:45played above their head. And like you said, it was against the Giants, which certainly helped.

00:50The 49ers know Sam Darnold very well since he's been there in the recent past. So I think that's

00:58going to be an interesting game. But you got a team short week right away. Brandon Aiyuk didn't

01:02look like he was nearly at 100%. We saw Trent Williams go in and get an IV late in the game.

01:07He probably still has some conditioning to do. So this is definitely a trap game for the 49ers. I

01:13think Brock Purdy has to play a little better than he did. I thought he missed some throws,

01:17lost in the hoopla of all the running and how well Jordan Mason played. So it's going to be

01:22a very, very interesting game in five and a half. You're right. It does seem a little rich.
