00:00Someone else that we talked about heavily when it comes to this matchup is potentially what Aaron

00:07Jones will deliver or Josh Jacobs. I would go for both of them probably being big deliverers in this

00:12matchup because even if we see love again, you don't want to push it with him if you expect him

00:15to help stretch out the season. So what can we expect in the ground game? You got Jacobs at 58

00:20and a half over under and you got Jones at 58 and a half over under which I found very interesting.

00:24Yeah, I would also say that we should touch on the fact that Sam Darnold did have the MRI on

00:31Monday. They said it was clean. There's no structural damage. To see him not at 100% and

00:35again if Jordan Love plays, they're probably both not gonna be 100%. So both teams leaning

00:40towards the ground game, getting it utilized more, I think it would be a very rational way

00:45of viewing things at least as of now. You know, 1130 on Thursday before these quarterbacks are

00:49fully confirmed in. So I would lean on the overs on those rushing props. And now we also got no

00:55note that Jordan Addison, the number two wide receiver for the Vikings, is expected to play.

00:59He said he would play. He hasn't played in a couple weeks. That's where we saw Jalen Naylor

01:03pick up touchdowns in three straight weeks. I would expect Naylor to have a decreased role

01:07and Jordan Addison have somewhat of a role if he's good to go. Will he be on a snap count? But

01:12again, the focus of this game should be the running backs for both teams if their quarterbacks

01:16aren't 100% healthy. Absolutely. And right now that's coming in at a three spread, a 43 and a

01:21half when it comes to the total. A little early still, Tom, but any props that pop out to you

01:27when it comes to this matchup outside of the running backs? No, I would be, it's too early

01:33for me to jump not knowing the quarterback situation. I'd be far more comfortable with

01:38the Vikings because Sam Darnold banged up, he's good to go, he should be out there. But the fact

01:43that Jordan Love hasn't played in multiple weeks and we don't have actual final confirmation,

01:47it's a stay away. We don't have to jump on props. You don't have to bet everything,

01:51but the right place is when we have the right information.
