00:02 The Kansas City Chiefs, Donnie, on the road in Minnesota against the Vikings,
00:06 a five and a half point number in favor of KC.
00:10 The Vikings won their first game of the year.
00:12 Cool.
00:13 What do they do for an encore this week back at home against KC?
00:18 >> Yeah, an encore, they give up a lot of points at home because Brian Flores' defense
00:21 actually showed some signs of life last week, but you have to take it with a grain of salt.
00:25 Everybody's defense shows signs of life against the Carolina team.
00:28 That's led by Bryce Young right now.
00:30 They'll get it together, but obviously it wasn't ready last week.
00:32 But looking at the Kansas City Chiefs, we know we're losing here, though,
00:35 the big playability right now for Kansas City, which was there for so many years.
00:39 And Tyree Kill is one of the headliners there.
00:41 But I don't think you need big playability to move the football
00:44 against the Minnesota Vikings.
00:45 So the focus on this game is actually on the Vikings and their offense and
00:48 what they can do against Kansas City.
00:50 They've actually had a pretty good run so far over the past four games on defense.
00:53 Steve Spagnuolo, this team for me, playing above their head on defense and
00:57 maybe not as good on offense as we thought they might be.
01:00 The total this game coming in at 53 and a half, it feels right here.
01:03 But again, the big play, explosive plays for Kansas City aren't there.
01:07 So maybe we play more towards an under.
01:09 You know everybody's looking at this total saying, hey, 53 and a half,
01:12 these two teams, they should get after it.
01:13 And rightfully so, but I'm actually leaning a little bit more towards the under.
01:17 And also, we always talk about Minnesota and
01:20 what they can't do when they're supposed to be favorites.
01:22 They can't win, it's always being close games.
01:24 Well, if you're always in close games and you're getting close to a touchdown,
01:27 isn't that the time you should start to take a look at the Minnesota Vikings?
01:30 They should be able to move the football, but the problem is again,
01:33 can the defense hold it down?
01:34 They played well last week, came up with a clutch stop at the end of the game.
01:38 Maybe they can use that momentum to move forward here and
01:40 take on the Kansas City Chiefs.
01:42 Should the Chiefs win?
01:43 Yes, they should.
01:43 But do we see the Chiefs struggle sometimes in these environments?
01:46 Yes, we do.
01:47 And Minnesota getting points, much better than them laying points in an NFL game for
01:51 me.
