00:00Well, tonight is the final game of Wild Card Weekend, and it was supposed to take place

00:05in Los Angeles, now it's taking place in Glendale, Arizona, because of the obviously awful situation

00:11that's going on in the Los Angeles area.

00:14That means not a normal week for Sean McVeigh and his football team, but he believes that

00:18they can handle it.

00:19I do believe that in spite of how unfortunate a lot of these different things are, this

00:24group is built to be able to handle different forms of adversity and overcome, which they

00:29have done, and we're looking forward to doing that this week.

00:33Very resilient.

00:34I mean, honestly, there is no way you can explain that off to me.

00:39Okay, so the entire city of Los Angeles burned to the ground, and we got to fly to play a

00:44game in Arizona, and we're built for this.

00:47I mean, stop.

00:48Just stop.

00:49There's nonsense.

00:50They have to play a game against a team they've already played once, pull out the game film,

00:55and let's see what we can do in this game Monday night.

00:58Look, the best thing about this game tonight is that there's a game tonight.

01:01There's a game tonight we can watch.

01:03Right.

01:04That is the best thing about the game.

01:06And look, there's no, like you say, this is not a normal situation.

01:09There's not a playbook for this.

01:11And it's still a football game.

01:12They're going to have to play it.

01:14I think the one thing if guys got on their heads, if somebody's house burned down, obviously,

01:17obviously they've got family in trouble, that stuff.

01:20But he has said a couple times that the team has not had any of those issues.

01:24It's just like they're going on the road to play a football game at this point.

01:27And that's really what it boils down to.

01:29Now, on the other side, the Vikings, 14 wins this year and still, of course, have to go

01:35on the road.

01:36Justin Jefferson, we know he's one of the best in the business, but you got to translate

01:42that to the postseason as well.

01:44He's 0 for 1.

01:45Remember, they lost that game of the Giants a couple of years ago.

01:47Another chance for Jefferson to shine on a big stage.

01:50Yeah, it's definitely important to have those moments when I go home.

01:54You have those moments or you miss those moments and you wish you had those moments after the

02:00season.

02:01So you definitely don't want to have those type of conversations.

02:05And this is the second time, you know, me being in a playoff.

02:08And even the last time, we only had one game in a playoff and we lost.

02:12So it's definitely, you know, those type of games.

02:15And even last game was felt that type of vibe, you know, that playoff atmosphere, being in

02:21that stadium, you know, just the tension on the game definitely was a playoff atmosphere

02:27game.

02:28So, you know, just carrying on into now going into another atmosphere where, you know, we're

02:34not at home and it's a win or go home situation.

02:37So everybody got to come to play.

02:40Look, I think for me, the receivers in this game are simply some of the best in the league.

02:47I think the Rams and Vikings receivers are very dynamic.

02:52And who's going to make more plays tonight passing the ball because Darnold throws better

02:58over 20 yards than almost anyone in the league.

03:02And I think that Stafford is a dangerous customer.

03:06He's already got a ring.

03:08So Old Greybeard is ready to go with Puka shells and cup and look, they these receivers

03:16tonight.

03:17This could be really exciting.

03:19And I think the Vikings have a sensational defense.

03:22I got to be honest with you.

03:24When Brian Flores was with the Steelers as an assistant, he's one of the best coaches

03:29in the league.

03:30He butchered his career with all of his lawsuits and everybody's racist and all the rest going

03:35after the owner of the Dolphins.

03:37You know, let's face facts.

03:40He hurt his own track.

03:42This guy is a really good coach.

03:44In fact, McVay gets all his genius stuff.

03:47I think Flores defense is sick.

03:50You talk about Phillies defense, the Vikings defense is just as good as Phillies.

03:53So that game next week, if the Vikings win, it's going to be awesome.

03:57It's going to be an under.

03:58Okay, know that because those two are going to punch each other in the throat.

04:03It is minus two and a half right now for the Vikings tonight, 47 and a half the total.

04:11This is a tough one for me.

04:14I'm going to go better coach, better quarterback with McVay and with Stafford and I'm going

04:19to take the Rams, Scotty.

04:20I'm going to go with the defense and I'm going to go with the team that won 14 games.

04:26I'm going to go with the Vikings and far be it for me to be right.

04:29I hit four to five games.

04:31We'll see if I can do it again.

04:32I also think it's going to be an under.
