00:00How about maybe a surprise 5-0 team, and that comes out of the NFC Norris division.

00:07That's the NFC North, the Vikings, 5-0 to start this season, looking impressive.

00:13Sam Darnold didn't even have a great game, but they still were able to pull out a victory

00:16against the New York Jets.

00:17He's had great games, not so good games, but the one thing that stands alone, the Vikings

00:21have no losses, and they're now a minus 105 to win that division, which includes the Lions,

00:26Packers, and the Bears.

00:27One of the most competitive divisions in football.

00:30Do we have a clear frontrunner, Dubsy, with those Vikings?

00:33I mean, we've got a clear team up on top there with the Vikings being undefeated, but no,

00:38I don't think they're a frontrunner, Donny, and I don't think that record tells us they're

00:42so much better than the chasing three.

00:44This looks to be one of the more competitive divisions in football right now.

00:48The Lions can absolutely roar at the drop of a dime.

00:51Green Bay, once Jordan Love gets back to full fitness, they'll be flying in for Chicago.

00:55Taylor Williams, fresh off his second 300 yard game of passing, looked to be fantastic

01:01as well.

01:02So, at minus 105, I think the odds makers have got that pretty spot on.

01:06They're currently two games up here of the Lions with a really good chance of carrying

01:09things on, and yes, absolutely shocked coming into this season.

01:14Had no expectations for Sam Darnall.

01:16Sam Darnall probably had no expectations, but suddenly with all of the right offensive

01:20weapons surrounding him, the defense is stepping up on that side of the ball.

01:24Justin Jefferson is saying, thank you.

01:26I thought with Kirk Cousins gone, that was going to be my season out the window as well.

01:31Not so fast.

01:32The Vikings have been playing some really strong complimentary football, and what a

01:36sweet victory it was over the Jets there in London for Sam Darnall.

01:40A bit of a revenge spot, if you will.

01:43He didn't play fantastic, but that one would have meant a little more there, and they're

01:47just not allowing a lot of points, Donny.

01:49So, the Vikings, 5-0 undefeated.

01:52Could be the last team to remain undefeated there as well between them and the Chiefs.

01:56So, it could be a couple of prices looming.
