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.
