00:00Vikings open up as two and a half point favorites against the Rams.

00:03That'll be the Monday night game, total of 47 and a half.

00:07I'm looking at this line here, Vinny.

00:09I don't know.

00:10I think maybe the Vikings end up, oof, it's a tough number,

00:14maybe three by the time that this goes off.

00:16But, you know, three is such a key number in the NFL.

00:19I just simply put, Vinny, have not really been a Rams believer all season long.

00:23So I don't know.

00:24Like, I know that in any game they can turn it up and score,

00:28but that just didn't happen very often this season.

00:30It was like once every three or four games, the Vikings put, or I'm sorry,

00:33the Rams put up like a 30 or 40 point spot.

00:35We're like, oh, nobody wants to play the Rams.

00:37But does that really hold weight?

00:38The Vikings have been a much better team than them this season.

00:41Yeah, I mean, strangely, the Vikings have lost to two teams,

00:45and one was the Lions, and the other was the Rams.

00:47And they lost on a Thursday night in Los Angeles, but they kind of came out flat.

00:51It was, I believe, after the first Lions game, where they were kind of maybe

00:55sluggish and having to turn around on a short week.

00:58This is going to be more of a normal week.

01:00I know the Rams have rested, but you're right.

01:03The Rams' offense has been less impressive as their defense has gotten better

01:07with each passing game here of late.

01:09So I don't know if they're going to have a little rust.

01:11The Vikings were kind of playing a playoff game against the Lions, the Rams.

01:15I don't know.

01:16They were just kind of mailed it in, didn't worry about the seed that much,

01:20and are going in.

01:20So we'll see.

01:21But I think you're right.

01:22Their offense is not automatic.

01:24They need a lot more than Pukenuku'a to produce in this game if they're going

01:28to beat a Vikings team, very good Vikings team, for a second time,

01:31which is very hard to do.
