00:00He showed you the season-long yardage for Matthew Stafford

00:06because of the importance and significance of this short week

00:10Thursday night football game. Now, his prop against Minnesota

00:13237 and a half. On the other side, it is Sammy D, Sam

00:18Darnold, 243 and a half up by about six yards from where

00:23Stafford is. VRS, first four games of the year for Minnesota.

00:27Multiple touchdown passes in all four, including a game of

00:31four and three for Darnold. Last two weeks, only one

00:35touchdown to two interceptions for Sammy D. How do you compare

00:41the quarterbacks entering tonight in LA? It's hard to try

00:44to gauge because again, it's a Thursday night football game.

00:47Typically, you have a little bit more of a sloppy performance

00:49guys coming and banged up. I get that and I'm not saying

00:51we're going to attack the ground game but I do like the

00:53ground game a little bit more than the passing game tonight

00:55from a quarterback's perspective. Like you are

00:57looking at Stafford, 237 and a half veteran guys should be

01:00able to get over that but that's a quality defense for

01:02Minnesota. Flip it over to Sam Darnold, 243 and a half. How

01:05much are they going to rely on him? As you said, not as hot to

01:07start the season and also the way that the Minnesota Vikings

01:10are using him in that offense. Maybe you don't have a book on

01:13him for the first two to three games. Defensive coordinators

01:15are smart. They adapt quickly and make those adjustments and

01:18changes and that's what the expectations will be tonight.

01:20You look at those touchdown props over one and a half for

01:22both guys. Just a little bit differently and rightfully so,

01:25Matthew Stafford over one and a half and a plus 116. Sam

01:28Darnold over at a one and a half at a minus 122 price. They

01:31both should be able to throw at least a touchdown apiece but

01:34I'm not running to the window bet on either one of these

01:36quarterbacks on either one of those props because we're also

01:39taking a look at two guys that don't run all that much

01:42necessarily particularly not Matthew Stafford. So, not a lot

01:45of angles for me that I love from the quarterback position

01:47tonight.
