Transcript

00:02 >> Stani, it's incredibly close on the money line.
00:06 The Vikings a slight, and I mean the slightest home favorite you can be,
00:11 -110, the Chargers a slight, and again,
00:13 I mean the slightest road underdog you can be at -106.
00:17 >> Yeah, and both of these teams do deserve to be 0-2 with the way they played in
00:23 their first two football games, not be able to stop the door on defense or
00:26 execute on offense in the key moments of games.
00:28 And also, maybe some questionable coaching tactics, once again,
00:31 coming up for Brandon Staley for the Chargers.
00:34 But if I'm looking at this line,
00:36 we've bounced back and forth a few different times this week.
00:39 And I agree, the Vikings of the Fable Sportsbook, -1.5, that makes sense.
00:44 That's what it actually should be.
00:45 But if we just take a look at this game on paper and say to ourselves, okay,
00:49 talent level on offense, talent level on defense, which team is better?
00:53 The Chargers by a wide margin, where you can no longer throw out the window and
00:56 say, okay, talent wins football games.
00:58 Cuz it's apparent talent doesn't win football games for
01:01 the Chargers or win close games when they should be winning.
01:04 And you're right, this is an elimination game.
01:05 I can't believe the Chargers, after three games,
01:08 are gonna be basically eliminated from the playoffs with all of that talent.
01:12 Like changes have to be made immediately.
01:14 Now granted, some might say, Donnie, settle down, it's a long season.
01:18 We know the statistics, Ben, of starting a season 0-3.
01:21 It's almost impossible to climb back into the race.
01:24 And we're not dealing with the Houston Texans and the Carolina Panthers going,
01:27 okay, it's gonna be a long season.
01:29 Buckle up, let's see if we can win a few games at the end and
01:32 carry momentum into the offseason.
01:34 Two disappointing teams, but by far, the more disappointing team, the Chargers.
