00:00Let's get over to this Houston, Minnesota game, man.

00:06So this was going to be, I don't, there's only two sides that I have today, unless Philly

00:09gets back up to the, to that three point number.

00:12That'll be a third then for me.

00:13I have Dallas, as I said, and I mentioned that I'm on Green Bay.

00:18I was going to be on Houston.

00:21As it got closer and closer and closer, I, I pulled up, I got gun shy.

00:26I, I'm giving the Vikings credit.

00:28I, I, the Texans are my look.

00:30I don't know if Minnesota is 3-0 good, but being at home helps.

00:35Texans off of a Sunday night win, probably feeling good about themselves here.

00:39Their center, they might be on a third string center in this game.

00:43Scruggs missed last week.

00:44Patterson started.

00:45He's out this week.

00:46Scruggs is still questionable.

00:47I, I, I backed off here.

00:49I leaned Texans in this game.

00:50I'm on some Stephon Diggs numbers, but I couldn't get to Houston despite the appetizing number.

00:55I can.

00:56I, I think they have multiple weapons and the biggest thing I, I think if you want to

00:59give credit to Minnesota on top of obviously Sam Darnold is the defense, how good they've

01:04been in regards to back-to-back weeks.

01:06But look at last week in regards to that game against San Francisco.

01:09Was that due to San Francisco not having all of their playmakers as opposed to what we're

01:14going to see today?

01:15Nico Collins, Stephon Diggs, Dalton Schultz, uh, and all of those players.

01:20And then of course, CJ Stroud, that's going to throw it 30 times in this matchup.

01:24I did like the over.

01:25Now it opened at 45 and a half, Donnie.

01:27It's up to 46 and a half.

01:29I'm going to wait to see if we get a scoreless four or five minutes, get this around 42 or

01:3443 or even low forties.

01:36I'll jump in.

01:37Houston's a good football team.

01:38We know that.

01:39Houston's favorite on the road against a quality Minnesota team.

01:42That's that's pretty good for Houston to be that way.

01:44But also CJ Stroud's perspective, he's got a ton of weapons at wide receiver, but I put

01:47the running back room devastated with injuries.

01:49Cam Aker is going to get the start today, which is why it plays into why like CJ Stroud

01:53to throw over one and a half touchdown passes.

01:55You're down in the red zone.

01:56What could you do?

01:57Hey, mix it, man.

01:58Carry us through here.

01:59Now you may be looking at on the three yard line play action pass, dump it off to the

02:02tight end or certainly one of those talented wide receivers.

02:04We're going to know a lot more about Minnesota once this day is gone.

02:07The reason I bring that up is some people didn't expect them to be two and oh, I thought

02:10they would win fairly easily against the New York Giants.

02:12They did that and played a clean game.

02:13That's what you're supposed to do on the road.

02:14Handle your opponent.

02:15Game number two.

02:16They outplayed the 49ers.

02:17I understand the 49ers want a short week going over to Minnesota, but I think that surprised

02:21a lot of people the way they handled their business.

02:23Now game number three against a quality opponent.

02:25They go to three and oh here, you're going to open some more eyes, but for me, it's more

02:28about C.J. Stroud.

02:29And also I heard you say Stephon Diggs, it's a big game for him.

02:32Going home to a place, you understand quarterbacks, teammates understand that.

02:36There's no way Stephon Diggs goes home today and has three targets, two catches for six

02:40yards.

02:41Maybe paid dirt too.

02:42No way.

02:43Akers too.

02:44Didn't he play with Minnesota?

02:45He played there last year, didn't he?

02:46Might have a cup of coffee.

02:47Yeah.

02:48A cup of coffee.

02:49I got a game for him.

02:5057 and a half.

02:51I swear to you, I forgot about the Diggs Minnesota thing.

02:54It's been so long.

02:55Yeah.

02:56There's the angle.

02:57It's the other angle.

02:58No, but it adds.

02:59Like it even more.

03:00That's a principle play.

03:01Can we get the over?

03:02We could.

03:03It's possible.

03:04I'm not sure I'm going that direction here.

03:05Launch it.

03:06Launch it.
