00:00Vikings and the Rams, Thursday night. Here is Kevin O'Connell, who of course was on McVay's

00:08staff when the Rams won the Super Bowl a few years back. Now he's been the head coach of

00:14Minnesota the last few years. He will always love Sean. He's always gonna be one of his

00:19best friends. Very emotional. No, we're, he's one of my, you know, he's one of my closest

00:24friends in this league. I have so much love for him, and that's, you know, been, been

00:31well documented. But you're right, it's, these seasons get going and, you know, it ends up

00:35being a text message here and there versus when, you know, a guy that had an incredible

00:40impact on not only my coaching career, but just, you know, me as a human. I have so much

00:46respect for him, how he runs that organization, his leadership, his football intellect. He's,

00:54he's as good as it gets. And I've got nothing but love for him.

00:58Oh my God. What can you pass the cheese?

01:03Nothing but love. The Vikings are three point favorites on the road at SoFi Thursday night.

01:08Healthy total here, 48 and a half.

01:12Here's the question. I mean, they're flat out better than the Rams, right? So they're

01:16flat out better than the Rams, but will they recover from losing to the Lions or lose two

01:21in a row? Because, you know, remember the Saints, they scored 50 points and they scored

01:2747 points. Everybody had them in the Superbowl. Remember when their odds skyrocketed with

01:33the sports books, the sports books will take anything and run with it and take your money.

01:37I mean, literally, they'll take anything they can get to get you to be a sucker. They love

01:42suckers and here's the deal. They lost to the Lions. Now, will they recover from that

01:49and go out and win in L.A.? Is there a better team flat out than the Rams? The Rams to me

01:55are weak. I had the Raiders plus seven. They covered, didn't they? I mean, even though

02:00lousy, crappy, worthless Raiders covered against them, that's how bad the Rams are. The Vikings

02:06have to beat them.

02:10I like the Rams on Thursday night. I'm on the Rams. In fact, I think they could beat

02:14them outright. The Rams are different at home. I think they're going to be spunky. I think

02:19that this is a short week on the road is not great for Minnesota. I think that it's good.

02:23Like you said, tough to come back. Tough loss against the Lions going on the road. If cups

02:28back and he's actually capable of doing some things, I think they're going to be in this.

02:34I think they can even win the game. I like the Rams on Thursday night.
