00:00Packers Vikings. What a game this is going to be. Two awesome teams. Packers is coming

00:08off this huge win. They are officially clinched. It is a one and a half point spread. It is

00:12a 48 and a half over under. Huge, huge game. The Lions are playing on Monday night. Next

00:20Monday night, they're at the 49ers. No, the 49ers are eliminated. This is an important

00:25game for the Vikings to win. Because of why? Because if the Vikings lose this game, the

00:32Packers would be 12 and 5. The Vikings would be 13 and 3. The Vikings end the season playing

00:40the Lions while the Packers end the season playing the Bears. So it is reasonable to

00:47say if the Packers can win versus the Vikings and then win versus the Bears, which we'd

00:52all assume, the Vikings have a tough road to then win versus the Lions, which would

00:57drop the Vikings to the third spot in the division. And now we're talking about them

01:02dropping in the NFC standings overall in the playoffs and this, that, the other thing.

01:07So really, really important game when it comes to not just this week, but how it permutates.

01:13The same thing with the Falcons and the Bucs and so many teams across the league where

01:17it's not just about this week. It's also about the following week because they may be facing

01:21an easier team or a tougher team, whatever it might be. So I have to lean, I have to

01:27lean on the under. And I know I hate to do it. I hate to lean under 48 and a half with

01:33this much talent on both sides. But again, the importance of this game, I really hope

01:39shines through. The talent that we have on both sides is absolutely immense. The Vikings,

01:44especially with a wide receiver duo that they have up at the top. Aaron Jones going up against

01:48his former team. There's so much talent, but I really want to lean on the under and

01:53I know it might not be the most popular thing to do, but I think it is the right play.
