00:00All right, let's move to Sunday and we will begin in London with the Jets and the Vikings.
00:04London actually gets a good game here with Minnesota and gang green.
00:08The Vikings, Femi, two and a half point favorites. Two and a half. Two and a half minus 110.
00:13Minnesota, 4-0. First place in the NFC North against Aaron Rodgers, Bobby Sala, and the Jets.
00:19Coming off the inexplicable home loss to the Broncos. Total is 41.
00:23Yeah, the market continues to try to catch up to the Minnesota Vikings and upgrade them every single week.
00:29And somehow the Vikings are surpassing those expectations.
00:32So that's why we have the market that we currently have where Sam Darnold is on a neutral field playing Aaron Rodgers.
00:36And Sam Darnold is a two and a half point favorite.
00:39Now, obviously a lot more goes into the football game than that.
00:41But just saying that on the surface with the quarterbacks, it's pretty wild to say out loud.
00:45And we're just four weeks into this season.
00:47Now, for me, my strategy with this game is to go ahead and wait.
00:51I'm going to wait to see if there's more Vikings love.
00:53And like, you know me, nobody loves this team more than I do.
00:56I've been pounding the table for the Minnesota Vikings all summer, and I've been pounding the table this season.
01:01But if this ever got to three, that would be way, way too much of an adjustment.
01:06I would like the New York Jets if I can get a three on a neutral field.
01:10Now, the tricky thing with the Jets, if you want to get into like the X's and O's and the schematics and all that stuff,
01:15they were clearly struggling with the blitz yesterday against Denver.
01:18Vance Joseph, that guy was blitzing like a maniac.
01:20Well, here comes Brian Flores.
01:22What does he like to do? Blitz.
01:24That's what he likes to do.
01:25So we'll see if the Jets and that coaching staff have figured out what plagued them this past Sunday when they go to London.
01:30But just from a schematic standpoint, maybe it's not the greatest setup for the New York Jets, but also for a Viking standpoint,
01:36like this is a team that's been an underdog quite a bit so far this season, other than when they played the New York Giants.
01:40Now there's expectations against like a good team.
01:43I still think the Jets are a good team.
01:45This is a little bit too much of an upgrade one week into the markets where it's the only New York Jets for me in this game.
01:51I said it in the open.
01:55I hate that I agree, but I do.
01:58And let's see where this market goes.
02:00Maybe we get a three with the Jets.
02:02Maybe it goes down to two.
02:03We don't lose anything.
02:04I think it's going to be, oh, man,
02:07taking Bob Sala against Kevin O'Connell is not going to feel good.
02:10And Sam Donald in a revenge game against the team that drafted him.
02:13I think it's also Jets or nothing for me.
02:16And that makes me sick.
02:17And, you know,
02:20where do you think the numbers going?
02:22And we'll move past this game in a second.
02:24We'll get to some other games.
02:26I think it's actually more likely to go to three than it is to, like, go to like one or pick.
02:30Should we just because it's minus two and a half right now,
02:33if we feel like we're going to get closing line value, like we should bet the Vikings,
02:37then if we think it's going to go to three?
02:39I mean, in theory, yes.
02:41But then I also think back to as a football fan, as somebody who just watches the sport,
02:45as much as Sam Donald has improved this year, it's still Sam
02:48Darnold against Aaron Rodgers and you're laying points on the Darnold side.
02:52I'm not. Darnold's been better.
02:54And look, I agree with you.
02:55Like, I'd like to bet the Jets also just just just saying, like, it's
02:58it's a little difficult there.
