00:00Lions versus the Minnesota Vikings. This is the, this is the game to look at. Two and

00:10a half on the spread, 49 and a half with the total, and I just don't even know where to

00:14start with matching this up. You got the Lions coming off of a massive win over the Cowboys,

00:18the unfortunate loss of Hutchinson, but I think you and I agree on the fact that while

00:22it's going to be a painful loss for the Lions, it's not really going to change too much for

00:27them. They still have a lot of formidable pieces to get the job done on their end. And

00:31then the Minnesota Vikings, I mean, one of the largest talks of the NFL thus far coming

00:35in hot of this season, Sam Darnold finally maybe finding his fit in a system, uh, Jones

00:40and company just being so dynamic. So where do we start with this one, Tom? Uh, I think

00:46the Vikings deservedly so are slight favorites. We've got to remember that they're coming

00:50off of by the week prior they were in London facing the jets. So fully rested, fully ready

00:57to go. Lions are coming off a big win, obviously suffering a loss with Aiden Hutchinson. As

01:01you said, I think initially the play is the under at 49 and a half. Obviously people want

01:07to see points. They want to see these great offense get out there. This is a divisional

01:10matchup. This is a divisional matchup, two teams that are neck and neck, and they're

01:13going to be here to the end point of the season. It's a huge game when it comes to, you know,

01:19Oh, they have an extra division win. I think both of these teams can pick up wins over

01:23the bears while the bears are looking good. I still think both of the teams are better.

01:27So they're going to pick up each winning against the bears. I think the division could come

01:30down to one game, which is not something that we often say. So 49 and a half, I'd like the

01:35under on that. I will be willing to play a live over at, you know, 40, 41 and a half,

01:41somewhere around there trying to find the middle, which isn't always for everyone. Uh,

01:44it's not something everyone's comfortable with, but something I'm certainly going to

01:47be looking into because I do think this game will be close. I will also be looking to take

01:51the lions live if they do fall behind, uh, plus six and a half, somewhere around there.

01:57So a lot of close stuff in this game. I think we're gonna see a big Amman Ross, St. Brown

02:00game. He was a little bit slow in their most recent outing. He didn't have to do a lot

02:03just because everyone else was putting up points and then man, it's Justin Jefferson

02:07on the other side. Keep it simple as possible. Yeah, that's true. I'm excited to see your

02:11coverage when it comes to the live lions and some of the things that you throw out there

02:14because I think those are some big points, but an exciting game nonetheless. Can't wait

02:18to see who comes out on top.
